Remember meeting _ Jones and Dave Parrish, who were _ the plant.
Remember meeting Earnest Harris, was the office manager.

John was on staff as a geologist. He had a blue and white chevy pickup. I later inherited this vehicle and it was still_ _. Shortly afterwards it went to the main shop for a _ paint job and decals on the doors.
