Southeast Saskatchewan Legends: Ken Cugnet

Ken Cugnet’s love affair with the oil business began when he was 8 years old with the drilling of the Weyburn Unit discovery well on the neighbouring farm in 1954. The consultant on that rig became a bit of a hero to Ken and his twin brother, Dick, as he would drive into town to phone in the drilling reports to Calgary and Ken and his brother would wash his car while he did, and then get paid with a milkshake.
