This month I would like to tell you about a wonderful restaurant that we recently visited. The Laurier Lounge in the Beltline District. Their speciality is fondue, and it was indeed special! They have a varied menu and we will be back in the near future to sample some of the tapas. Their website is http://laurierlounge.com. It is a very popular place so I suggest you make reservations. Or visit on a Sunday night when their fondue menu is on special. You won’t be disappointed!
We were on a cruise for three weeks in April. When we returned I had hundreds of emails. So if I missed any announcements, I apologize. Let me know and I will be sure to include your announcement in the June issue.

I received the following new job announcement and birth announcement from Victor Irwin, Pinnacle-A Halliburton Service. CS
I would like to thank Divestco for the 5+ years of fun. I really enjoyed representing their software and working with a great group of people during that time. In October of 2011 my wife and I became the proud parents of twin boys. (Nathan & Matthew) Things on the home front were initially a little crazy; but had settled down enough by January of this year that I made the move to Pinnacle – A Halliburton Service. Pinnacle provides industry-unique integration of microseismic, tiltmeter, and fiber optic technologies to maximize completion efficiency and production economics. It was Pinnacle’s unique combination of fracture and reservoir consulting services, award-winning fracture diagnostic and reservoir monitoring technologies that made this a easy decision. One can’t help but notice that impacts of technology on our industry. Being closer to the Frac just made sense for my career. I am really enjoying my time with Pinnacle. The exposure to their monitoring technology has been rejuvenating… with the sleep deprivation I am experiencing I need rejuvenating.
