I met Roy Masters at the Halliburton breakfast in Houma. He had interesting stories about what it was like to work in the swamps after he had been used to dry land for so long.

Roy was born in 1932 and began working in the oilfield in 1951. He is from Texas and worked there for 13 years before being transferred to Houma in 1968. He worked his way up to supervisor before retiring in1985. He is now in the used car business.
