It has been an interesting year with entertaining speakers and great social events like our recent Sporting Clay shoot at Five Dogs. I d like to thank all the members for supporting our chapter and especially our Board and Steering Committee for their help and support over the past year. It is through the efforts of our members and board that our West Coast Chapter was able to raise enough money to award $32,000 in scholarships to local students. Finally, I d like to welcome and congratulate our new board: President - Brad Elliot First Vice President David Lopez Second Vice President Rob Emslie Treasurer Jason Mundorf Secretary Josh Kyles. I hope you will all join us at our next Technical Presentation on September 16 th and welcome our new board members as well. Please remember, our next technical forum is on September at Cocnut Joe s.

June 2010 Page 4 Lucky Member of the Month Johnny Elliot My journey started when I was born in Fort Worth, TX. At the age of 19 I left for California. Upon arrival in Huntington Beach I started working at Pacific Inspection Company located in Signal Hill in January 1975. While most of the work was out of town, in 1978 I relocated to Bakersfield where I have lived except for a few years in the mid 80 s while working in the Geysers. I have two daughters and two grandsons all in Bakersfield. Throughout the years I have been involved with all aspects of inspection on new and used casing, tubing, used drill pipe, BHA s, and down hole tools. In June 1998 Pacific Inspection Company sold to Tuboscope, were I was retained as Sales Manager. In August 2001 I elected to leave Tuboscope and in January 2002 along with partners Guy Elliott and Jerryal Elliott we started Tubular Inspection Company. Since inception we have grown to a full service inspection company for used drill pipe, BHA s and misc. tools. I have been a member of Independent Pipe Inspectors Association ( IPIA ) since their inception in 1977. I have made many friends who I am thankful for while working in this great industry, not only in California, but throughout the western United States, Hawaii and over seas.
