It was winter of 1977. I was in charge of the Finance Department of Fluor Arabia in Shedgum, Saudi Arabia, and later got promoted and managed five sites from Dhahran. One of them was Uthmaniya – Where Mr. Everett Blauvelt worked. My father passed away in December that year, and he was one person who called me regularly to inquire about the family and me. We became good friends, and he became a father figure to me. His daughter Mary called him Dadski, so I called him Dadski. He called me Mike – then he sponsored me to come to America. I kept the name and made it legal upon becoming a citizen, Mike Mohamed Ghouse. I am here in the United States because of him. Thanks, Dadski.
