Many of you stopped and visited with us, the Heritage Gallery, at the 2006 Annuitants Reunion. It was our pleasure to be able to be present at this reunion and have you share some of your experiences while working for Aramco. We were delighted when the Arabic coffee and date cookies brought reminiscent smiles to many of your faces.
Several of you brought wonderful items to donate to us. Thank you again for these generous donations. They have become part of our artifact collection and will be appropriately displayed over the years.
One of the most common asked questions was about what kind of items we were looking for as donations. We have compiled a list of issues from Aramco publications that the Gallery is currently missing from its collection. Please look at the attachments. If you have any of these issues and wish to send them to Houston so they can forward them to us please write us and let us know. Other items of interest would be pictures of the early days with the company in front of old buildings, or at company functions. Excerpts from letters describing the area or about meeting or visiting Saudi families; documents such as a Saudi driver’s license, items with the Aramco logos, (especially the first one) would be objects of interest. Issues in non-Aramcon publications with articles about Saudi Arabia or Aramco such as Reader’s Digest 1949(not sure of month)issue or Life Magazine issues, etc.
Please just write to us and let us know what you wish to send. Unfortunately due to the expense of transportation from Houston to Dhahran we need to be more selective than we would normally like to be.
Again, we thank you for visiting with us at the reunion. If you have any questions about the donations or about anything else that we might be able to assist you with please contact us.
Sincerely,
Michelle Alireza, Coordinator
