Calling all Aramcons and friends—to Jabal Las Vegas 2008, the 26th biennial Annuitants Reunion, Sept. 29-Oct. 1. Reuinon hosts Albert and Karen Fallon have provided a package of reunion registration and hotel reservation information, along with an outline of activities, events and meals, in the reunion insert in this issue of Al-Ayyam Al-Jamilah. Next year’s get-together is special because it coincides with the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Concession Agreement that launched the oil enterprise that is today’s Saudi Aramco, an event that will be celebrated by the company throughout the year. The reunion is being held at the luxury Paris Hotel on the famed Las Vegas Strip, with all facilities close by. Visit www.parislv.com for detailed information. The Fallons urge guests to register by June 1, 2008, but note that hotel reservations should be made as soon as possible to take advantage of special prices available now. The last time the Annuitants Reunion was held in Las Vegas, in 1990, it drew a record 1,272 guests. The Fal- lons hope that Jabal Las Vegas 2008 will set a new at- tendance mark. The reunion starts with registration Sept. 29 be- ginning at 10 a.m. (Sept. 28 from 4-6 p.m. for “early birds”). There will be a casual dinner Sept. 29, a light “Viva Las Vegas” supper reception Sept. 30 and a semi-formal gala on the final night, Oct. 1. In between, there will be plenty of time to share old times and absorb new news. As usual, golf, ten- nis and bridge tournaments are also on tap, along with the Sidelines exhibit of attendees’ crafts, hob- bies and other accomplishments—one more way for you to catch up with old friends, and let old friends catch up with you! “We’re delighted to bring you this reunion,” say the Fallons. “We hope that you will attend for some fun in the sun.” > Cover: Saudi Arabia’s pioneering aerial survey—carried out by Dick Kerr, Charley Rocheville, Joe Mountain and Russ Gerow—was memorialized on the cover of the September 1936 Standard Oil Bulletin in a striking “old meets new” scene that looked posed had it not been for real. While eating chow at the Henry-Brown camp at Hafar al-Batin one evening in 1935, Gerow observed the scene and remarked to Kerr that it would make a great photo. It was one of Kerr’s best.

Fellow Aramcons, After more than seven months in my role here at AOC, I now feel like I have my feet well and truly under the table. As Managing Director, I can appreciate just how important a role our offices play outside of the Kingdom and how relations are maintained with former Aramco colleagues. I know that 2014 has proved a busy one on the reunion front, on both sides of the Atlantic. This year’s Ukaramcons reunion was particularly special, as it was the fifth and final occasion that Tom Henderson and his wife Eileen acted as hosts. I would like to personally thank them for their efforts over the years; these past reunions would not have been as successful without their valuable time and input. Also, a warm welcome to our new hosts Jim and Veronica Anderson and Michael and Sue Higgins, who I would like to thank in advance for the support they will be providing.
