While I was working in Lafayette, Lillian Espinoza-Gala took me to two Desk and Derrick meetings as a way to meet people in the industry and find potential interviewees. At the second meeting I attended, Lillian and I sat at a table with several women who used to work in administrative positions at different service companies. I got the contact information for two of the ladies to schedule interviews. One of those ladies was Jocelyn Hebert. I called Jocelyn to schedule an interview. We agreed to meet the Petroleum Club on July 31st.

Jocelyn Hebert is from New Orleans. Her father worked in drilling for Humble Oil. Jocelyn remembered growing up in the oilfield environment. She worked in administrative positions for a few service companies. She retired from Schlumberger in 2004. Although Jocelyn retired, she remained an active member of Desk and Derrick
