Photograph by Aramco Photographer, TewellDistinguished by being both the first Montanan and first redhead in this column, Scott Harrison, senior surveyor, General Office Engineering, has been in Saudi Arabia 12 ½ years.
Scott left New York with one of the first convoys to attempt a Mediterranean trip in 1944. Of the 35 other Aramco employees on the ship there are still 13 with the company. On this precarious 57-day trip, the boat ran into a sub pack near Gibraltar and one off-shore near Aden for 10 days, they finally got as far as Bahrain, where Lloyd Moore met them and brought the new employees to al-Khobar by launch.
Harrison, who attended Montana State University, has always been with engineering in Saudi Arabia but previous to his arrival he did aerial mapping for the Department of Agriculture.
The preliminary surveying of Ras Tanura, Damman port and Abqaiq was done by Harrison. He was joined by his wife and three children, Sylvia, Sheila and John in 1948. Sheila is a freshman at the University of Montana and Sylvia is now Mrs. Jack Eagan also of Dhahran.

Photograph by Aramco Photographer, KaziWhen Miles Lupien, more familiarly known as Lupe, first transferred to Saudi Arabia in January, 1939, the journey to the Field was really an adventure. The trip from his home in Taft, Calif., took three months and involved many means of transportation, among them the Queen Mary, the Simplon Orient Express and the BI boat from Bahrain. Lupe finally reached Dhahran on March 13, 1939, and was assigned to the Purchase and Stores department as assistant storekeeper. He held that position until June, 1940, when he started materials work in Ras Tanura during the construction of the refinery and terminal. In 1945 he assumed the duties of district storekeeper, Dhahran, and the same year his wife, Edna, and daughter Milene joined him here. Now the Lupien family also includes a son, Edward. Lupien was appointed to his present position in Abqaiq as district superintendent, storehouses division, in January 1952. Sparkplug in many community activities, Lupien is an enthusiastic golfer and also enjoys bridge.
