However, she is getting married and moving to Odessa in September, so she's taking the welder with her since her new husband is interested in welding. We may have to look for a welder for him. He was laid off from his job and hasn't been able to find one with good benefits. His wife is diabetic and he has 2 girls in college. He is very talented and has a lot of applications in, but you know how the economy is right now. Hope he finds something soon. Meantime, he's working odd jobs, installing cabinets, putting in tile, building fences, plumbing and electrical work.
