Louis Porter born in Bangor Maine, back when the economic conditions were such that both parents were forced to work to survive as a family. The entire family moved to Skowhegan, Maine where I could fi nish high school. At an early age of seventeen, I joined the Merchant Marines and sailed on cargo ships to many European and South America ports over a two year period, married and enlisted in the U.S. Navy Air Force based in Corpus Christi Texas. Completed college work at Texas A&M with honors in Petroleum Engineering. Went to work with ARCO as a petroleum engineer and handled sales of the companys oil and gas products. Later, I formed Daleo Petroleum and began building underground storages to handle sales, storage facilities and set up pipeline distribution of all liquid gases like ethane & propane for Mid-America Pipeline. We were fi rst to put propane on the Chicago Cotton Exchange as a commodity.
