Keith learned good lessons in the booming oil fields, which toughened him up, but also showed him the value of money. The money to be made was unbelievable, Keith told The Associated Press in 1996. I came out of high school in 1980 and they gave me this job December of 1979, $50,000 a year. I was 18-years-old. But the domestic oil field industry collapsed and Keith had not saved. It about broke us, he said. So I just learned. I've taken care of my money this time.
