Although Bill Harriman retired about ten years ago from petroleum exploration, he has jumped back into the work force as a consultant for the Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica. Les Nichols, on the other hand, has just retired after 33 years in the hotel industry and other promotional endeavors.

At that point it was too late to chicken out.
