Just to get things started, I can report that Atwood Oceanics, Inc., a Houston, Texas-based international offshore drilling company, recently named our own James W. Ferguson to the posts of vice president, general counsel, and secretary. Jim has worked at Atwood since 1975 after graduating from the University of Texas Law School. In his new position he will be responsible for the legal insurance and corporate affairs of the company. Atwood operates a mixed fleet of mobile drilling rigs all around the world, so Jim will have a lot to do.
