Our Gulf Coast – First Impressions

I wanted to check in and keep you up to date on my progress down here on the Gulf Coast.  I’ve been here for almost one week now, and let me just say how overwhelming it has all been.  You cannot appreciate what is exactly happening down here unless you see if for yourself.  The devastation from Katrina alone is still so visible.  Words cannot describe what these people have endured, and sadly what is to come.   I do admire the people of the Gulf Coast, they just do not stop fighting, and they never give up! 

I have to be honest, my first thoughts when planning my trip to the Gulf was sell, sell, sell!!  What an opportunity!!  All I could think of was to get myself down there, and start selling!  Don’t get me wrong, you do mourn for the people, the wildlife and the coast. You understand, or at least you think you understand the catastrophe that is unfolding in the news.  THEN I ARRIVED.

What I saw made me sick.  It was like a slap in the face smacking me back to reality.  I honestly felt guilty thinking the only reason I had come here was to see how much money I could make!  Being from Ontario, Canada I’ve never in my life had the opportunity to be involved in or even to witness the devastation at this magnitude.  Tragedy of this sort just doesn’t happen where I come from!   When I saw the birds covered in oil, and I saw and spoke with the people that believe they have lost their very way of life, heaviness sort of took over my body.  That’s the only way I can think to describe it. 

I want to do something, I want to help in any possible way I can.  You get such an overwhelming feeling of helplessness, and you can only hope that anything you can do will make a difference.  I must say, I haven’t really ever experienced these particular feels before, but honestly the thought of making a difference really overpowers and outweighs  the thoughts of becoming a millionaire.  I never thought I’d type those words!

 So the focus turns to big corporation.  They must be accountable for what they’ve done to these people, wildlife, the planet and the environment.  Some how, we have to get BP to understand the ROC Barrier™ will be a great asset in the clean up taking place on the Coast.

This turned out to be the most frustrating task we’ve ever undertaken!

My Distributor Don White owner of Flats-No-More out of Magnolia Springs Alabama met me at the airport.  I am so thankful for Donnie!  He truly is a “GOOD O’L BOY”!!!  Easy on the old, eh Donnie!  I can’t thank Don enough!  He took me under his wing and off we went!  Don knows the people to talk to and where to find them!  Being local to the area Don knows first hand what this oil spill will do to this area, and the people that live here.  I want to let you know Don, that I think you are a fantastic person, and I am so grateful and appreciative for all of your help and guidance.  I am honoured to call you Friend.

The best thing that comes from trying to get your product known is the people you come across.  I’ve been very fortunate in finding the new friends I have made along the way.  One of them being a Mr. Kristoffer Diel from Slidell, Louisiana whom I came across at a trade show we were both attending.  Kristoffer’s credentials are as follows:

USCG Auxiliary Division 4 Staff Officer for Marine Safety, USCG Auxiliary Flotilla Commander 081-04-02
Marine Surveying, Investigations, & Consulting
Vessel Damage & Insurance Surveys
Cargo & Container & Barge Draft Surveys
SAMS – Accredited Marine Surveyor #870
IAMI – Accredited Marine Investigator #77

As you can see, Kristoffer knows a thing or two or three!  Kristoffer is one of the most caring, sincere, and honest people I have ever come across.   Kris has been pushing to get our product known for quite sometime now.  I am grateful that I have come to know Kris over the past few years.  Kris has knocked on countless government doors, however for some reason; some folks just can’t seem to grasp how beneficial the ROC Barrier™ actually is.  We believe the feeling is….the ROC Barrier™ is just too simple to be true, and it can’t possibly work…..even after seeing all of the test results!!  How do we make it clear that our product will work?!

The next thing I know, I receive an email, which goes like this:

Dear Glenn,

Kristoffer Diel, Gulf Regional Director of Society of Marine Surveyors, introduced me to your boom material. It looks like exactly what is needed here, but BP is blocking it. We want to film it being tested in Alabama..can you assist?  It will work..many are convinced of this.

Until next time, be safe and never give up the fight!

Hello every one……I’m back!

 Sorry it’s been  awhile, I apologize for not keeping every one informed.  We have gone through some changes recently.  Firstly, Richard Reynolds our director of marketing, is no longer with Murrenhil  Corporation.  Richard has moved on to bigger and better endeavours, and we wish him all the very best.

Secondly, the GULF OF MEXICO, oh my gosh, this is the worst devastation our planet has ever had to endure.  We at Murrenhil have been doing our part in the effort to protect our planet and it’s waters.  We have donated thousands of feet of our sorbent barrier/boom, the ROC Barrier ™, to the New Orleans area.

We believe we have the product that not only will corral and hold an oil spill, but the ROC Barrier/boom will also adsorb up to 125 times its weight in oils, we suggest uses like shore line protection, or picking up tar balls on the beaches, the uses are unlimited.

If there is anyone out there that thinks they know someone that can get this into the hands of the people who are in charge, I challenge you to step up and help us make a difference.  Together we can repair the damages that have occurred , and continue to occur.

If you think you can help, PLEASE contact me any time at 1 800 808-1927    I will be in the gulf region for the next week or two, call me , lets see if together we can make the difference.

Have a care and a prayer….we need all the help we can get.  God bless.
