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.
