Fin Lineham

• Although the records show that Fin Lineham was only on the OTS Board of Directors for a couple of years (1966 & 1967) he was instrumental in the formation and success of our organization.
• Being a seasoned oil worker, Fin was fortunate to be one of the crew to drill and complete Imperial Oil Leduc #1 discovery well in 1947.  At the time there was an acute shortage of experienced oil field personnel.  Fin being one of the very experienced helped by getting involved in frequent informal meetings where technical information was exchanged as well as the sourcing of oilfield equipment and services.  The meetings were formalized through the creation of the OTS.
• Fin played a very important role in developing the OTS Park.  In the mid 60's he sold some 7 acres of land at a very minimal cost to the OTS and then later he donated 2.2 acres of land.  He was instrumental in the planning, designing and building of the Pavilion, which was located where the Nabor's rig now stands.  Built as a Centennial Project in 1967, it used until 1988 when it was replaced with the current building.  The current building was named the Fin Lineham Pavilion.
• Fin supervised the building of the 1914 cable tool rig derrick in 1980.  He continuously provided a tractor and other equipment for the maintenance and up keep of the park.
• Fin was truly one of the OTS.
