Dear Michael – a very warm welcome from Mark Niblett & family, you may remember I was the head of security at the hospital for a short period of time from December 04, through to October 05, prior to being moved from the facility up to Abqaiq by a somewhat dysfunctional manager, Devone Kingstone, guilty of the crime of being good at my job. I now reside in the US where I am the Director of Security for a major US Oil & Gas company, and settled with the family in sunny Texas. I still travel to the ME somewhat extensively and presently sat in sunny Dubai as I write this.
The very best of luck with the book, I look forward to it with the great anticipation, hoping you and yours have a wonderful Christmas.
