Frank's International Direct November 2014 • Volume 9, Issue 1 • Oil & Gas Industry Frank's Far East Deepwater Success 2013/2014 PG 10 Letter from the CEO It’s hard to believe that Frank’s International recently celebrat- ed the one-year anniversary of our initial public offering (IPO). Bumps in the road are to be expected whenever a private company first goes public, and Frank’s has had its fair share of challenges. However, I can confidently report to each of you that we are on track and are poised for record growth and expansion in the coming months and years. I am very pleased with the progress we have made, and I am very optimistic about the direction we are heading as a public company. Frank’s International has come a long way since my grandfather, Mr. Frank Mosing, and my grandmother, Mrs. Jesse Mosing, established Frank’s out of their garage in Lafayette, Louisiana, in 1938. Today, the Frank’s family numbers over 4,300 strong, spanning approximately 60 countries on 6 continents. I am personally proud of each of our employees who have made this company the leader in the tubular services industry. They engineer and manufacture innovative tools and provide outstanding customer service. Frank’s is continuing to add a lot of great new talent who are complementing an already top-notch team, and their continued hard work is reason enough to be optimistic about the future of Frank’s International. All of us together are working hard every day to make Frank’s a stronger company. We are innovating and designing new equipment, finding ways to provide better service to our customers, and we are improving our reporting to provide more transparency to our investors. All of this is what makes Frank’s International the great company that it is. For over 75 years, Frank’s International has been setting new standards in oilfield services worldwide, all while maintaining the highest degree of safety. In fact, our employees are some of the most vigilant and prepared personnel in the oil industry. We pride ourselves on our technology, engineering expertise, and our relationships with our customers who trust us and value the services we provide. Over the last year since our IPO, I have often been asked why we decided to take Frank’s International public. The answer is simple — we wanted to give the company liquidity, as well as the opportunity to grow and attract new talent in an ever-increasing competitive environment. I enjoy Frank’s being a public company and am optimistic about what the future holds. Frank’s International is a great company; however, I am confident that we can and will become an even better company. 2014 has been a great year, and I am excited about the opportunities we are pursuing and have secured for 2015 and 2016. To our longtime customers, our loyal employees, our friends and stockholders, I thank you and truly appreciate your support.

LOAD TESTING, INSPECTION & RIGGING • WWW.INTEGRICERT.COM 8 1529-28.indd 1 9/9/14 10:11 AM Frank’s International’s Xtreme3 Gas-Tight Series: The NeXt Generation of Deepwater Threaded Connectors by Cody Roy I n response to recent customer demand, Frank’s International has implemented a groundbreaking refinement to its Xtreme3 Connector, yielding a gas-tight series. Despite being Frank’s International’s first gas-tight deepwater connection, its more robust design, rigorously tested development and enhanced mechanical performance make it more than competitive in today’s industry. Following 28 successful Xtreme3 Connector jobs in recent history, global-leading operators expressed much interest in a gas-tight series, so Frank’s International, always quick to innovate, responded. The 22” Gas-Tight Xtreme3 Connector is the perfect solution for deepwater applications. Not only is this connector mechanically sound under extreme loading scenarios, but its gas-tight seal can withstand such conditions as well. Given the proprietary nature of Frank’s International’s gas-tight connector design, it is imperative for our customers to be able to rely on standardized testing procedures that help ensure a safe operating combined load envelope. In an effort to provide assurance beyond “in-house” analysis, all Xtreme3 Connectors have undergone high-resolution finite element analysis (FEA), as well as standard and modified ISO 13679 CAL-1 load testing (all by an independent testing laboratory) — fatigue, seal ability, gas, water, etc. — which are all testaments to the connector’s durability. The addition of a gas-tight connection has prompted the rapid development of even larger connections to promote 36” to 38” casing applications. Packaging the existing 28” and 22” gas-tight connections with a larger OD connection creates a multitude of new opportunities for Frank’s International within the connector manufacturing market. While current Frank’s International customers are reliant on well-bore systems of varying sizes, the well architecture that has become the popular standard in deepwater well construction worldwide is the “big bore” design, i.e., 36” (38”)/22”, with 28” sometimes needed due to shallow water flow. Frank’s International will soon supply the available market with this connector package, along with the expertise and tooling required to run the string. This further establishes Frank’s International at the forefront of deepwater casing running services. Customers will find the 22” Gas-Tight Xtreme3 Connector’s potential for adaptability just as impressive and reassuring as its comprehensive testing. The metalto-metal seal technology inherent to this connector, for instance, is complementary to other sizes in the Xtreme family of con- nections, allowing for further development and optimization of requested connector sizes. Availability in a multitude of steel grades, weld neck geometry that allows the connector to be welded to a range of connector OD measurements and antirotation features all serve to enhance the 22” Gas-Tight Xtreme3 Connector’s customization potential. In short, the technology developed today is now a platform for the future of Frank’s International’s Xtreme3 product line. The oil and gas industry demands myriad technical capabilities from its available connectors: long fatigue life, elastomeric and metal-to-metal seals, quick make-up at low torque, stabbing guides, anti-rotation assurance, appropriate pre-load, and high-strength capacity — just to name a few. Frank’s International has answered the call and will continue to meet these demands throughout the future of its premium-thread connector product line.

The deepwater project will consist of approximately 25 subsea gas development wells with two FPUs. The contract was expected to commence mid-year 2014. Water depths will range up to 6,000 feet. Eni Indonesia Water Depth: +/- 2,500 feet RTS-ST Remote Operated Cassette with IRN ST-160 on the Noble Bob Douglas Frank’s Deepwater Experience Launched in New Zealand Rig: Noble Bob Douglas Water Depth: +/- 5,000 feet Operated Cassette Tongs, Clamp Type Elevators, Hydraulic Distribution Modules, Stab-Rite System and Hornet Drill Pipe Flow-back Tool. Frank’s extensive deepwater experience was utilized by Anadarko for two wells off New Zealand on the newly built dual-activity drillship Noble Bob Douglas. “This was a huge operational success attributed to the team effort by various groups throughout the organization globally. With the support from business development, engineering, operations, the asset team, senior management and our deepwater service technicians, we have ensured and delivered a deepwater package of the highest quality to our customer,” explained Rick Kettlewell, Far East regional operations manager. The Noble Bob Douglas drillship was deployed in October 2013 from South Korea to New Zealand for a two-well campaign. Both wells were in water depths of approximately 4,921 feet in the New Zealand region, which is well known for high winds and rough sea states. The provision of the Remote Operated Cassette Tong System into the Iron Roughneck, was the first cassette integration with a NOV ST-160 Iron Roughneck. Both cassettes, the XT-22” and 14 3/8”, were deployed and integrated without any issues. This demonstrates the depth, knowledge and expertise of our engineering team in accomplishing this task under a restricted timeframe. Frank’s proprietary equipment was selected as being the best fit for Anadarko’s operation and included the Remote 10 To date, two wells have been completed with little or no recorded NPT. Frank’s Indonesia Lands Four Deepwater Projects Chevron Indonesia Rig: Deepwater Asgard Water Depth: +/- 6,000 feet Frank’s Indonesia has been awarded a three-year contract for the East Kalimantan Makassar Straight deepwater fields (West Seno, Bangka, Gendalo, Gehem and Gandang) development program that will consist initially of three rigs (two shelf Frank’s Indonesia has also been awarded a three-year contract for Eni’s Muara Baku – Jangkrik deepwater development project, which will consist of 11 subsea wells for a duration of three years. The first rig was scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2014. This campaign will also include an exploration program that will consist of two firm and two optional wells (one rig). Water depths for both projects range up to 2,250 feet. Above are the first deepwater development programs in Indonesia. Frank’s will be introducing its latest deepwater technologies for the first time into Indonesia. Frank’s China Secures the Chevron Deepwater Project Work Chevron China Rig: West Tellus Water Depth: +/- 4,500 feet Frank’s China was contracted to perform the TRS work for Chevron on the newly built rig West Tellus. Here again, Frank’s International’s deepwater technology was brought into play to ensure that the project would be as efficient and safe as has come to be expected by major operators. The TPA’s, XT-22” and 14 3/8” Tongs, Clamp Type Elevators for Flush pipe and stand building, and large OD Flush Mounted Spiders were some of the technology utilized on the project. The customer evaluation report at the end of 2013/2014 FA-1® Success by Frank’s International–Europe the project was extremely positive, with one of the comments mentioning, “I am extremely happy with the performance of services and the quality and attitude of the crews,” and, “All of the Frank’s crews have done an excellent job, and I am proud to have had the opportunity to work with all of them.” Frank’s Australia Contracted for Deepwater Work with Woodside Australia Rig: Deepwater Millennium Water Depth: +/- 3,000 feet Woodside Australia approached the Frank’s Australia division to look at application of deepwater technology on the Deepwater Millennium and Woodside’s first deepwater project in Australia. Frank’s arranged the rig survey and customer discussion over a very tight deadline and was able to present a solution to the various challenges Woodside would encounter during the campaign. This included extremely heavy Casing Strings, Flush Casing, High Torque type connections and the need for remote operations. Here again, the input from Engineering in Lafayette enabled us to propose the best-in-class, optimum equipment to ensure the campaign in the deep waters of Australia is successful. Far East is currently working with other major operators in the region to secure additional deepwater work as the deepwater initiatives in the region are set to increase substantially with the deployment of the new-build deepwater rigs over the next many months. On the Galleon-PG-11 well, drilled by Shell on the Noble Al White in the UK North Sea Sector, Frank’s FA-1 Casing Running Tool was used to install a 13 5/8” by 13 3/8” surface casing, which was one of the longest, deviated and most challenging top-hole sections within the NAM. The tool was instrumental in achieving the objectives of installing the casing in the target formation, which was located at a depth of 6,496 feet AHRT. • The first 984 feet of 13 5/8” casing was made up using power tongs and FA-1 as fill-up tool. • At 2,460 feet, a tight spot was encountered, requiring 14 hours of circulations at the maximum allowable flow rate for the hole, rotating with maximum torque for the casing connection. • At 3,182 feet, rotation was not feasible due to torque limitations of the casing. • At 3,182 to 3,248 feet, 12 hours of applying 20 metric tons WOB and washing down at the maximum flow rate were required. • Circulating casing down to ca. 6,397 feet encountered multiple tight spots and Open Hole Friction Factors up to 0.6. • Hard work was put in at 6,397 feet to work through a ledge. Thanks to the ability of the FA-1 to wash down and set down up to 30 metric tons, the casing was worked past the ledge. • Wellhead was landed without issues. • Despite all heavy work, no failures occurred on the tool. The FA-1 tool is considered by the Shell operations team as a safe and effective tool, which enabled the push on technical boundaries and the case off of a very troublesome hole section. Integration with the rig, in terms of hardware and people, is seen as vital to a safe operation. Shell expects a challenging casing trip for the next hole section and will use the FA-1 preventively. 11 International Business Development Group Frank’s International Business Development (IBD) group has experienced many positive changes so far this year, including welcoming new personnel and exploring new opportunities abroad. The IBD group is responsible for maintaining existing client relationships and developing new connections to expand Frank’s International’s global market share. Throughout 2015, Frank’s will attend many international tradeshows and conferences. The IBD group will assist the sales teams in attending these events to ensure Frank’s International gains the maximum benefit through our combined efforts. Listed below is a snapshot of the conferences and tradeshows Frank’s will have a presence in through 2015. 2015 January Offshore Middle East – Doha, Qatar February Oil & Gas Summit Latin America – Cartagena, Columbia Hagan Heiligbrodt and Drew Ludlow The IBD group consists of Vice President Business Development Dick Rader; Executive Assistant Gail MacGregor; International Business Development Sales Greg Beal; Ferdie Dupuis; Hagan Heiligbrodt; Drew Ludlow; and Randy Raymond.

We look forward to contributing to the success of Frank’s International by maximizing our efforts and contribution. 12 November Oil & Gas Indonesia – Jakarta, Indonesia IHC PILING HAMMERS by Rolf Kampman O ver the last 25-plus years, Frank’s International has invested in IHC Hydraulic Hammers. In May, Teun Verschoor, the IHC sales manager, contacted Frank’s Den Helder base to announce that IHC had a present for Frank’s Netherlands. Frank’s received a model hammer from IHC in appreciation for the order of 12 IHC Piling Hammers over the past three years. For IHC, this is a significant number of hammers ordered in a short period of time. The total number of IHC Piling Hammers within the Frank’s organization is now above 30 pieces. This means Frank’s finally settled within the top two owners of IHC Piling Hammers worldwide. Several personnel from IHC visited Frank’s in Den Helder to witness the handover of the S-150 Hammer Model. The model hammer is scaled 1:5 based on the S-150 size Piling Hammer with a 36” guide sleeve to drive conductor casings onshore and offshore. The hammer is located at the entrance of the Frank’s office in Den Helder, Netherlands. This gift underlines the good relationship between the two companies and the willingness to improve the relationship even more in the future. The top of the hammer designs have been modified to comply with new regulations in Europe, and this was accomplished through the cooperation between Frank’s Aberdeen, United Kingdom, and Den Helder, the Netherlands. Other small modifications of the IHC Hydrohammer will be discussed in the near future to improve the performance of the equipment in the operational field. IHC Personnel: Sven Bakker, operations manager; Evert Jan Grisel, system engineer; Wilfred de Kreek, service engineer; Michiel van Straaten, production coordinator; Kim Heijmen, sales support; Jaap Houbolt, project manager; Kevin Jongkind, sales manager; and Teun Verschoor, sales manager. Frank’s Personnel: Alistair Kirby, global hammer manager; Remco Schol, operations supervisor; Patrick Schelvis, operations manager; and Rolf Kampman, country manager. NSE Event 2 14 by Bas Peereboom The NSE (North Sea Energy) Soccer Cup is a great mix that serves charity combined with meeting industry professionals and having fun. North Sea Energy is all about bringing the network together in a sporty and relaxing environment, as sports and business go well together. This year, Frank’s participated together with more than 30 other offshore teams. Frank’s won the first match against our client, TAQA, giving us the orange lion spirit; however, this quickly changed after the second match that we lost with a score of 2-0. We tied the third game with a score of 0-0 and lost the last game with a score of 1-0. In all, it was a successful day of meeting new people. The event also reminds us how good the team spirit is within the Dutch oil and gas industry; everybody was having a great time with good food and drinks. 13 BP MS 150 by Amanda Johnson For the seventh year, Frank’s International made its journey from Houston to Austin, Texas, in the 30th Annual BP MS 150 in April 2014. This was a two-day trek to help raise awareness for multiple sclerosis. Frank’s teamed up with Southwestern Energy to make up an incredible team of about 60 riders and volunteers. Between the two teams, nearly $140,000 was raised for this event. The 180-mile bike ride is not just an ice bucket challenge; it is a commitment to do much more. The BP MS 150 is the top fundraising event for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Multiple sclerosis, referred to as MS, is considered an autoimmune disorder that attacks the healthy tissues affecting the brain, the spine and the optic nerves. riders helping to raise over $19 million for research. The Frank’s Famous Cooking Team met up with the weary riders in La Grange, Texas, and worked furiously to keep the troops fed for breakfast, lunch and dinner, after their nearly 100-mile ride just on day one. Initial symptoms can be very difficult to detect, but later can be very detrimental to mobility and other functions. Although research has made progress in “modifying” the symptoms, there is no cure. With an estimated 2.1 million people affected by this disease, it makes one proud to say that Frank’s was among the 13,000 Frank’s International is a company that is truly involved in its community, and the participants in the event give great thanks to Keith and Alice Mosing for their continued support and contribution to the BP MS 150.

TEACHER TOUR In August, as part of our mission to build an innovative, technology-based future for Lafayette, Frank’s International hosted a group of high school career and technical education instructors from the Lafayette Parish School System. The teachers met with Frank’s team members from the engineering, safety and human resources departments and toured the company’s manufacturing and machining center as part of their in-service training for the 2014-2015 school year. Frank’s representa- tives talked to them about career paths available to their students and demonstrated some of the new technologies shaping the future of the energy industry. The visit was a great opportunity for the teachers to see how the skills they were teaching in the classroom are applied on the job site. “Our teachers will be better prepared and our students more engaged because of these experiences,” said Burnell LeJeune, director of career and technical education for the Lafayette Parish School System. Halloween Around the World 14 FI Colombia Soccer by Frank’s International Colombia Founded in 2013, the Frank’s International Colombia soccer team represents its namesake with honor. The vast majority of the team is made up of people directly involved with the company. The team’s brotherhood and sportsmanship is recognized throughout the local community. Being a part of the soccer team not only is a healthy form of exercise for the members, but it also has had a positive impact within Frank’s International Colombia. The team facilitates a better environment for living and working together, as well as optimal communication within the group. The support we receive from our leaders motivates us to continually strive for success. We invite all Frank’s International team members to continue pursuing all our goals as a company and as a family.

As a member of the Frank’s International team, you’ve seen these words on signs and posters. You’ve also heard these words in safety videos and at safety meetings. But do you really know what Project Zero is all about? It’s not just a couple of words thrown together to make a slogan, and it’s certainly not a convenient safety catchphrase. Project Zero is a lifestyle. Project Zero is a culture. Project Zero is a commitment. While it is no secret that the greatest asset at Frank’s International is its people, Project Zero exemplifies our dedication to the safety and health of those people, and making sure that they are able to do what they do best for Frank’s, day after day, without getting hurt. But why zero? That’s easy — zero is our objective and our aim. Despite the fact that zero is the smallest number, it is our most important number. It is the goal that we strive toward when we start each day: zero injuries, zero deficiencies, zero nonconformities, zero miscommunications and zero mistakes. injury-free in 2013, we look forward to adding more locations to that list each year. You see, Project Zero is more of a journey rather than a destination. When we reach zero, it’s our job to stay at zero. This involves each and every person at your facility being committed to making a difference. With all of that in mind, there are some who truly believe that achieving zero is simply not possible. Granted, Project Zero presents quite a challenge for us all. But what if there were dozens of Frank’s locations that proved, once and for all, that zero could be achieved for an entire year? While we all know that it only takes one person to make a difference, one person at Frank’s recently proved it. This unknown person recently took a stand for safety, did the right thing and then left the following message as a handwritten letter on his supervisor’s desk: As a matter of fact, there were so many Frank’s locations that achieved zero recordables in 2013 that the list would fill this entire article. Exemplary safety records were set in 2013 for most Frank’s locations in Africa, Europe, Canada and South America, as well as all of the Middle East and Far East locations. There were also numerous locations in the United States that documented zero recordable injuries in 2013. I made it known to the Frank’s QHSE Rep that a piece of equipment was defective, fearing someone could hurt themselves. A fellow worker, hearing I had reported it, shouted across the workshop that I should be careful; with the intention of humiliating me in front of everyone, making out I was being petty about safety. While we are all extremely proud of the Frank’s International locations that remained To this person, I ask these questions: • Have you ever been terrified to stand on a power tong 20 feet in the air before the compulsory use of a harness? • Have you felt guilty because you were pushing the tong when a roughneck lost four fingers — before the use of canvas straps? • Have you ever, with tears in your eyes, stood in the pouring rain staring at the spot on the pipedeck where your friend was killed the night before he was due home, knowing his family will be receiving a corpse and not a loving father? • Have you ever had a meal in a mess hall that later became the mass grave for rig workers, because procedures weren’t followed? • Have you ever listened to excited friends talk about their marriage plans, and then later listened to the distraught wife say how the police would only let her see a part of his arm for identification — all because of lack of helicopter maintenance? • Do you ever really miss a workmate? Same helicopter, same crash. So … if you want to humiliate me, go right ahead. I’ll stand there all day and take it, because I’m not going back to the way it was and I’ll never stop trying to improve safety. Anonymous As this letter proves, all it takes is one person’s drive and determination to be a safety leader, even if it means remaining perfectly anonymous. This is in perfect alignment with Project Zero. This person truly “gets it.” It’s not just about being compliant; it’s about being committed, standing up and taking action. In Remembrance Lewis Jones On October 4, the Frank’s International family sadly lost one of our legacy employees, Lewis Jones. Lewis came to Frank’s in 2003, where he was based out of the Houston corporate office as an inside tubular salesperson. Prior to Frank’s, Lewis had a long career as a procurement specialist at BP for 19 years. While at BP, Lewis worked closely with the tubular sales team at Frank’s and developed a special relationship with us. We were blessed when he decided to continue his career with Frank’s International. Lewis was well respected and a special friend to everyone in the tubular industry. His signature cowboy hat and Western attire kept Lewis grounded to his Western roots and the rodeo days of his youth. A true gentleman to his very core, Lewis treated everyone as he would want to be treated. He was always positive and friendly with his co-workers at Frank’s and was always able to put a smile on his colleagues’ faces with the candy jar he kept filled with everyone’s favorite goodies. Lewis will be greatly missed at Frank’s International and within the entire tubular industry. SAFETY AWARD I n 2014, Frank’s International received the Safest 70 Award for the third consecutive year. Each year, the Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Corporation (LWCC) recognizes the safest companies from its pool of approximately 17,000 eligible policyholders. Frank’s International was selected for the award due to its effectiveness in preventing injuries and controlling cost. “Presenting this award is not only LWCC’s way of recognizing Frank’s outstanding safety efforts, but also it is a tribute to the efforts and commitment of the company’s employees, management and executive leadership,” said Mike Page, LWCC director of corporate communications and safety outreach. “It is evident that safety is one of the company’s core values.” Frank’s International remains committed to its safety goals. “Our staff is continuously searching for new and effective methods to uphold our dedication to safety, and this has resulted in our em- ployees being some of the most vigilant and prepared personnel in the oil industry,” said Keith Mosing, chairman and CEO of Frank’s International. Tanzania Safety Recognition by Ashraf Mandi Karna Raj, Frank’s Tanzania safety supervisor, has been recognized as the Gold Hard Hat Award winner by BG Energy. Per BG, “Raj displayed extraordinary safety commitment, with outstanding behaviors and ideas, based on the four duties we expect from everyone: observation, intervention, compliance and contractor management.” Along with this award recognition, BG also made a $1,000 USD donation toward a local charity of Karna’s choice. Frank’s Exhibits at Offshore Technology Conference in Houston Karna has been with Frank’s International for six years, and during his time with Frank’s, he has always showed initiative both in safety and operational leadership. He has this easy ability to lead men not with words but with his actions. Karna not only leads the team in safety contribution but also operational improvement ideas that are currently within Frank’s engineering department. Karna came from a project that was starting in Turkey working in the Black Sea; like this project, it had a new rig freshly out of the shipyard in South Korea that had its fair share of teething issues. Karna took notes on the issues the rig faced regarding operational safety and brought those lessons learned to the DSM-1 to help smooth out the transition from new build to the smooth operating rig that it is today. Karna has always led the crew in safe-card participation and has been recognized numerous times on the DSM-1 regarding the quality of his participation. Frank’s International once again exhibited at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas, May 5-8. It was our second year using the newly redesigned booth, which was created by Nimlok in 2013. “Our booth catches people’s attention,” said one of our engineers who was in attendance. “Its design mirrors the innovation of our products and services and serves as a great conversation starter with conference attendees.” Each year at OTC, representatives from Frank’s International staff the booth and talk with potential customers about new technologies and projects. 17 Robotics Event T his year, Frank’s International was recognized by the Lafayette Parish Public School System for supporting the district’s robotics competition teams. Frank’s donated a total of $20,000 to robotics teams from four public high schools in the Lafayette area. These funds helped the teams purchase supplies to create and build robots to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). The FRC is an international competition in which teams of high school students build and program robots to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. Several engineers from Frank’s also volunteered as mentors for the teams, providing guidance on issues like construction FRANK’S ANNUAL F CRAWFISH BOIL rank’s International held its 31st annual crawfish boil at Houston Farm & Ranch this past May. The event is timed perfectly, smack dab in the middle of Houston’s annual Offshore Technology Conference. With the hustle and bustle of the oilfield industry festivities, this event allows Frank’s employees, customers, friends and family to slow down and enjoy each other as they eat crawfish and jambalaya from Louisiana Foods. It is a great event put on by Mr. and Mrs. Keith Mosing, and all proceeds go to and design. In April, Frank’s invited the students from these robotics teams to visit the Lafayette campus, where they toured a manufacturing facility, met with engineers, viewed a demonstration on the training rig, and learned about the future of technology in the oil and gas industry. As a member of the Lafayette community for over 75 years, Frank’s has always looked for ways to give back. We are committed to investing in the local community and developing our homegrown talent. the Chuck Norris Kickstart Kids foundation. Entertainment was plentiful, with performances by Johnston Middle School, Burbank Middle School and Erick Esparza — with his award-winning doublebo routine. Live music was put on by the one and only Joe Douglas Badon’s Swamp Fox Band. Mr. Donald Mosing himself was even visited by a special guest, Marilyn Monroe! Thank you to everyone who took part in this special day! Retirement Luncheon I n July, Frank’s International hosted a luncheon to celebrate the hard work and dedication of the company’s many retired employees. The gathering gave the retirees the opportunity to catch up with each other and reminisce about their time together. It also gave Frank’s a way to thank them for their hard work and dedication to the company. Here are a few quotes from the attendees: “My favorite memory of working at Frank’s is the people that I enjoyed working with that became lifelong friends of mine. I started 18 with Frank’s in 1961, and I can remember old man Frank teaching so many of us young guys how to manage our money and that family came first always.” — Richard Knott “Frank’s is very family-oriented. Just like here at this reunion. Who’s ever heard of a company that would call in all of its old retirees, after two years, to have a little lunch? This is just great. My advice to someone starting at Frank’s is to learn your job, be on time and be dependable. It’s nothing difficult or complicated. The whole company is based on people that they can depend on.” — Richard Harris “Now that I’m retired, what I miss most are the people that I worked with. I’ve only been retired for a year and a half, and I’m already missing my job. Probably because the people I worked with knew one another like family, and we always looked out for one another. Frank’s always took care of their employees.” — Lennet Castex David Gates, 26 years Paul Shillings, 26 years Delfino Arias, 24 years Ray Barrilleaux, 24 years Don Boudreaux, 24 years Charles Calder,
