I was in Dhahran and worked in the tower, first year in financial analysis working on unraveling the transfer of ownership excess profits to the Saudi govenment and the next two in general accounting. My wife loved it there and still has not forgiven me for leaving - at the time I still thought I could become chairman of GM, the delusions of youth.
What I remember most was what a great place to raise children - and had we decided to have children I would not have left.
