But Wayne adds, "I told Ben, 'If I walk in here in the fall of '83 and find you still in Quincy. I'll be very upset.'"

Heineman. When Northwest organized NWT Natural Resources Co. earlier this month to drill for oil and gas, Deichen was made president. Now, at 28, he is getting a salary and bonuses that may hit $75,000, plus handsome stock options. He still skips off occasionally for long weekends...
