My husband Bill and I are happy to have been part of the 'Aramco Family'. Recently I talked on the phone with another retired Aramcon and we inevitably got around to the subject of "whatever happened to . . . .". Over the intervening years we have lost contact with so many of the people with whom we shared our wonderful experience and with whom we formed happy and lasting memories.

Whether they spend 10, 20, or more than 30 years at Saudi Aramco, retiring Aramcons have made enormous contributions to the company, and to the Kingdom. And among the greatest contributions is the message that Aramcons take with them as they return home, helping the world understand a little more about Saudi Arabia and its culture.
