May Days! I recently learned that Bill Nickerson passed away. As a young Broker with Sigma, Bill was one of the first geophysicists that I met courtesy of his friendship with Tim Ross. Bill took the time out of his schedule to teach me about seismic sections, what he as an interpreter would look for, what he considered ethical (and not) and to speak on the industry history and current trends. As an oil and gas newbie, I cannot properly express how valuable his time and attention were for me. Mentoring was his gift to many. Rest in peace.
