CAN’T BE POSSIBLE,COULD IT?

I was watching TV the other night and got a call from my big brother David. I answer it, looking forward to a nice conversation with my brother, when he asked me if I got a phone call from some man from North Dakota. I said I hadn’t, why?

Apparently he got a phone call from a gentleman who represented a large oil company, who wished to speak with us about a parcel of land. The size of the land was 60 acres and we didn’t know what he was talking about.

50 years ago my cute grandparents, Maurice at Beulah, signed an agreement giving them the mineral rights for the 60 acres. Well, my grandparents have been dead for 40 years and my parents for at least 10. That leaves my brother and I as the sole heirs for these rights.

With the world’s mad rush for oil we in the United States are looking with in our own boundaries. Low and behold, they are finding oil in South Dakota.

This company believes there is a good possibility that oil lies under the property that we have rights to. He wanted to send us a contract for them to lease the property. they would pay us a small amount of rent for four years and if they hit oil we would receive 18 1/2% of the gross revenues.

Can you imagine getting a phone call out of the blue that could have such tremendous bearing on my and my children’s future. It is something that you see in movies and not in real life. Just like the Beverly hillbillies.

Of course it is still very remote that this will come to fruition, but stranger things have happened!

GO BABY,
