We recently found broken pieces of dishware that have the old Aramco brand. We have some questions: Does anyone know about this dishware? When it was used? Do we have an Aramcon who restores broken ceramics?
In 1941 Nestor "Sandy" J. Sander joined the American army and was assigned to intelligence services in Northern Africa and Europe because he could speak and read French (as well as German, Italian and Spanish). In Paris, he met Georgette Cordin, and they were married in 1946. Later the same year, Nestor was back in Saudi Arabia, followed by "Georgia" a few months later. They lived in Dhahran until late 1951.

Nestor was sent as a junior geologist for his first assignment to Saudi Arabia. That was before World War II started and much before the country became known as the major worldwide oil producer.
