From a Shotgun Shack is the memoir of Richard Mason. Richard left a real shotgun shack to become a successful oil exploration geologist, an honored environmentalist---a three-term president of the Arkansas Wildlife Federation, and in 2009, because of his work in downtown El Dorado, the downtown was named the top Main Street town in the U. S. Along the way he became a friend of former President Clinton. Richard worked his way through college, sometimes holding as many as three jobs. After working for Exxon on the famous King Ranch and in Benghazi, Libya, he resigned to become an independent geologist and oil operator. He is an amazingly successful geologist, who has discovered some 30 oil and gas fields. Richard is a former top ranked tennis player, he sings in the adult choir, and has taught an adult Sunday School class for 40 years.
