Preston Monongye (Hopi) (1927-1987) Tufa Cast Rose Gold Channel inlay bracelet. Fits up to a 6 3/8" wrist, tapers from 20mm to 30mm wide. One of a kind bracelet, extremely rare example in gold. Preston Monongye did not work in a lot of gold, very few pieces have come to market ever, when they do they are crazy expensive. I personally had this machine tested on a $30,000+ XRF machine and it ranges from 40-43% gold (Averaging about 10k) which actually makes perfect sense. Since P Monongye didn't work with a lot of gold, the times he did were likely somewhat experimental. In this case it is somewhat obvious that he melted up some scrap gold, likely some that was brought to him by a customer or friend to make this which was likely a custom piece. The lowest gold content shot we took showed it at 48.13% copper, 40.08% gold, 8.18% silver, 3.49% zinc, and .12% Nickel.Preston Monongye (1927-1987) was an influential proponent of what he called “the new Indian art.” He wrote, “We may use old techniques, along with old designs taken from potsherds or pictographs, but then we redesign them or add innovations of our own.”Preston had an unconventional and late blossoming path to jewelry making. He served in two wars, worked in law enforcement, and was an employee for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. It was later in life that he decided to dedicate himself full time to jewelry making, which was received numerous awards. He had always experimented with jewelry and craftsmanship, but did not receive acclaim until fully committing to his art. Preston primarily did the metalwork and design for his pieces, letting his friend and acclaimed lapidary artist Lee Yazzie do the inlay, and later allowing his son Jesse Monongye to do his lapidary work. His pieces are exhibited nationwide.Born in East Los Angeles, California, to Mexican and Mission Indian parents, Monongye was adopted by a Hopi family at age seven. He was raised Hopi, speaking the Hopi language and participating in the Katsina Society. At age nine, Monongye began apprenticeship with his uncle, the master silversmith and painter Gene Pooyama. “He taught me how to live the ‘Hopi way,'” Monongye recalled. Throughout his career, Hopi colors and images were prominent in Monongye’s work.But Monongye was adamant that Native jewelry not be bound by the past, explaining, “An old piece of philosophy given to me by my father and other men of the Hopi Mesas is, ‘If you can progress without hurting your tradition or your , you should do so.”Born in 1927, in Los Angeles he was abandoned at Hopi at age seven and adopted by a prominent Hopi family. Monongye attended reservation schools and became a full participant in Hopi and social life. Following his service as a paratrooper in World War II, Monongye became a Kachina painter, working occasionally for trader Roman Hubbell and the Fred Harvey Company. Monongye re-enlisted during the Korean War and later worked in law enforcement for the Bureau of Indian Affairs while continuing to paint and make silver jewelry. After leaving his job in favor of jewelry making in the early 1960s, Monongye quickly became recognized as an innovative designer and technician, immersing himself in “the new Indian art,” using traditional techniques and motifs to create a contemporary new look. He was best known for cast silver set with stones that often were cut by his friend Lee Yazzie, and later by his son Jesse. Monongye taught his art at various schools and workshops and lectured widely on contemporary Native design. He won many awards at shows and competitions and his jewelry appears in museum collections such as the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff and the Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe.

Preston Monongye (Hopi) (1927-1987) Tufa Cast Silver David Tsikewa fetish jar.   4.75" tall x 3 5/8" wide x 716 grams.   4 very well carved fetishes on the exterior of the box, one loose fetish as shown inside the box, and one fetish inside the lid.   I was told by an extremely reliable source that these fetish's should be attributed to David Tsikewa (1915-1971), which makes perfect sense.  These are amazing, I‘ve sold millions of dollars worth of Native American jewelry and never once suggested one belonged in a museum.   This is 100% a museum piece.   Amazing piece likely from the third quarter of the 20th century.    This is originally from Manny Goodman's private collection, owner of Covered Wagon Trading Post, Albuquerque, NM on Old Route 66, he had been dealing in and collecting Native American art since the 1940's.  I have no paperwork to verify this but would stake my life on it's authenticity. Preston Monongye, Hopi Pueblo Jeweler Hopi Pueblo artist Preston Monongye hallmark signature."Preston Monongye‘s jewelry is among the most sought after and highly valued of all Native American jewelry, rivaled only by his neighbor Charles Loloma, Lee Yazzie, and a small circle of other top artists. "His birth in 1927 remains shrouded in mystery. In 1934 during the Great Depression, his birth mother, reportedly a California Mission Indian woman from Los Angeles, visited the Hopi village of Hotevilla on Third Mesa. For some unknown reason, she left little Preston with a powerful Hopi Wutsim Priest, David Monongye, and his wife Nora. They adopted Preston and raised him as a Hopi. Grandfather David once explained to me. ‘Hopi is a philosophy, a way of life, meaning the ‘People of Peace.‘ You may be red, white, yellow, or black-it doesn‘t matter-if you‘re ‘Person of Peace‘-you‘re Hopi. In this spirit, Preston was raised in a very traditional Hopi family who were fine artists: jewelers, textiles weavers, basketmakers, and wood carvers. In 1934, at the age of seven, Preston Monongye moved from Los Angeles to Hopi Pueblo. His father was Hispanic. His mother was a California Mission Indian. A Hopi family from Hotevilla, AZ, Nora and David Monongye, highly respected traditional elders, adopted him. Living in Hopi Pueblo was a dramatic change from being in urban LA during the great Depression. They supported themselves by growing vegetable gardens. Young Preston was introduced to the world of Kachina and ceremonial dancers, which had a profound influence on his art. By age nine, he became an apprentice to his uncle, Gene Pooyama, a master silversmith, and painter. Preston also learned much about traditional Hopi lifeways. For a decade he enjoyed this peaceful way of life. "As a child, Katsinas gave little Preston a bow, arrows, and a lightning stick, like other Hopi boys. Preston was initiated into the Hopi Katsina Society. While sitting in Grandfather David‘s kiva, he learned to carve and weave by watching Hopi priests. Preston was nine when he helped Grandfather David melt silver coins to make jewelry. He learned traditional techniques of Hopi silversmiths practiced by David and their neighbors, Ralph Tawangyawma, Dan Katchongva, and Allen Pooyouma. They were known for silver ingot, hand wrought, heavy stampwork and twist wire jewelry set with high quality, natural turquoise. Preston emerged in the mid-60s and 70s as a top designer of what he dubbed, "The New Jewelry." Preston made many contributions to the Indian art world. In 1970, he served on the Board of the Inter-tribal Indian Ceremonial in Gallup, NM He lectured widely at schools, organizations, and conferences. Preston won many awards at Indian art shows. Lee Yazzie, the respected Navajo Jeweler, and collaborator with Preston, concluded: "Preston was a true artist."As a teenager, Preston left Hopi Pueblo to serve in the US military during World War II and was a Paratrooper and served as a medic in the South Pacific. Later he served in Korea."Preston‘s uncle, Gene Pooyouma, devoted the most time to helping him to make his first jewelry." Preston, born in 1927, died in 1991 at the age of 64 years. David Tsikewa (1915-1971) brought a previously unseen delicacy to the art of fetish carving. His pieces have a sweet, gentle quality that distinguishes them from the works of his contemporaries. Tsikewa came from a relatively small family by Zuni standards.  Lugya, his father and mother, had three other children, Lorna Quam (sister-in-law to famed jeweler Annie Gasper Quam), Ida Eriacho, and Sadie Epaloose.  Tsikewa and his wife Mary had eight children of their own: Bill, Delano, Lavina Kaskalla, Jennie, Rudolph (Rudy), David Jr., Marvin, and Annette. Born in 1915, David passed away from a heart attack in 1970. Tsikewa learned silversmithing from the renowned Horace Iule in about 1937 and appears on John Adair's 1940 census as a silversmith under the name David Siaekewa. He made inlay butterflies and by the late 1940s was known for special order items, particularly bolos and buckles, in which he used turquoise to work customers' names in channel inlay. Dude Kirk, Gallup, NM Indian trader, marketed most of Tsikewa's work at that time. In the mid-1940s, Ruth Kirk asked him to carve birds to be strung on necklaces, which was the beginning of Tsikewa's beautiful and delicate fetish necklaces. Although he never gave up silversmithing completely, and in later years did inlay for Hopi/Mission jeweler Preston Monongye, by the mid- to late­-1950s Tsikewa emphasized carving. He continued to make jewelry for Dude Kirk and Charles and Pat Kelsey, while also stringing and carving free-standing fetishes for Leon and Ruth Ingraham, the Kirks, C. G. Wallace, and Joe Tanner. In 1959 Tanner, who considers Tsikewa to have been his best friend at Zuni Pueblo, commissioned him to make the pieces for a chess set. One of Tsikewa's most elaborate creations ever, the set includes a board with inlaid squares of white shell and turquoise by Francis Leekya, the son of Leekya Deyuse. In 1966 Tanner organized the Heard Museum's Zuni Show, which featured Tsikewa's work. Tanner bought stringing fetishes from Tsikewa for a dollar apiece and had them custom-made into necklaces for buyers at the show. Tsikewa's daughter Lavina maintains that no one specifically taught him to carve, but his son Bill says that he was influenced by father-in-law Teddy Weahkee. Tsikewa at first worked with hand tools, but quickly converted to electric tools which enabled him to achieve the delicacy for which his carvings are known. Tsikewa earned his living almost exclusively through his art. According to his son he sometimes signed his fetishes with his cattle brand, a "spear D." A silver tag stamped "David" often adorned his fetish necklaces. David Tsikewa's fetishes range from fairly simple to quite detailed. His strung fetish birds display a unique angle to the wing that distinguishes them from birds made by the rest of his family. His four-footed creatures give the impression that they are coming to a quick stop. Most have darkened, drilled eyes and few have bundles. In almost all cases, Tsikewa's approach is exemplified by beautiful polishing. He also carved animals that were uncommon for the time, producing probably the largest menagerie of any carver in his era. On rare occasions Tsikewa, like some of his peers, created detailed human figures. Today, David Tsikewa's family continues his tradition. His wife Mary made fetishes until her death in 1986. Their children all carved fetishes, and some even bested their father's work in juried art shows. This proud family heritage remains with Bill, Lavina, Jennie, and Annette, who still produce diverse, top-quality work. vbcrosby-consignment

Ramon Dalangyawma Hopi Overlay Corn plant pendant sterling. No issues, weight and measurements in pics. Solid sterling. Ramon Dalangyawma Capital letters spelling DALANGYAWMA identify the sterling overlay jewelry produced by Hopi/Navajo silversmith Ramon Dalangyawma. Born Ramon Albert, Jr. at the Grand Canyon Village, January 26, 1954, Ramon was raised by his grandparents, and, aunts in the pueblo at Hotevilla, Arizona. In his formative years, Ramon worked the family five acre farm growing corn, beans and squash. He vividly remembers the time spent checking the plants daily for worms, and the unmistakable aroma of home made piki bread. As an initiated member of the Hopi Kachina Society, responsible for tending his five acre field, hauling the family water (five gallons per bucket, sometimes hauling twobuckets per day), one wonders where he finds time to make jewelry. Ramon moved from the pueblo to study at the IAIA school in Santa Fe for two years, transferring to Phoenix Indian High School high school, where he graduated in 1972. After high school, he enlisted in the Marine Corps. He was promoted from Private to Corporal taking his training at the Communications school in Twenty Nine Palms, California. He says that President Nixon is his “big hero because it was his decision to begin the withdrawal of troops from Viet Nam that kept him from being shipped overseas as a Field Radio Operator. Ramon completed a 12 month tour on Okinawa, in the pacific, and after the military, he worked for a short time with the Bureau of IndianAffairs in Tuba City. Ramon returned to Hotevilla in 1978 and began Silver work at the Hopi Arts and Crafts center. Working in copper, brass, and bronze, he signed his earliest work with stylized initials RA. (Ramon Albert) Many of Ramons works went unsold because they lacked a distinguishable Hopi surname. Like his father before him, Ramon was named after the son of Lorenzo Hubbell, who owned and operated the New Oraibi Trading Post. His grandmother gave Ramon Albert, Jr. the Hopi name Dalangyawma, which he has adopted as his hallmark. Ramon sells most of his jewelry at Indian art and craft fairs. Ramons designs often reflect his Hopi culture. Designs such as clouds, thunderbolts, and rain reflect the importance of weather in an area where there is no irrigation. Clan symbols, such as the bear, spider, and antelope, mixed with prayer feathers, kachinas, Kokopelli and corn are all combined in Ramons work. Ramon dislikes doing the smaller pieces not because of limited space for his hallmark, but because holding and cutting small pieces of silver is difficult and tedious. He prefers to work on larger items.

College of Arts and<br>Crafts, and Osaka, Japan.  That grounding in ceramics led him into the largely<br>unknown (at that time ) frontier of studio art glass.  In 1970, he was with Dale<br>Chihuly when Dale and the Haubergs selected the location for the now renowned<br>Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, Washington – and the journey into that<br>frontier was well underway.<br><br>Many of today’s successful, working glass artists are either former students, or<br>have worked with or  for him at one time.  His work, ranging from his<br>distinctive crystal and gold goblets and his ground-breaking work with dichroic<br>glass, to his imposing cast sculptures, and now his seemingly gravity defying,<br>color saturated, multi-piece sculptures, have been acquired by collectors<br>internationally and are a part of collections ranging from The Corning Museum in<br>New York, to the Louvre in Paris.<br><br>Randy’s work through the last 4 decades has been characterized by the use of<br>difficult, defining techniques, materials, colors and forms. His newest<br>sculptural work again breaks new ground by challenging the concept of solid form<br>in glass by further expressing its personality in lightness and movement.<br><br>In 1970, he built and established his own studio and gallery in Northern<br>California, where he continues to create, design and teach.  After 45 years of<br>making distinctive work in glass, he is continuing to make a limited number of<br>pieces a year while he compiles his book “The Glassmakers”, spotlighting and<br>detailing<br>the history of the pioneers in glass responsible for creating what now exists as<br>the American Glass Movement.

No issues. 1.75" without bail x 1.55" wide.DAVID LOTTON David Lotton is a second generation American glassblower. He is the oldest son of Charles Lotton and was introduced to the world of glassblowing at a very young age. In 1970, Charles started building a furnace and began blowing pieces of glass from melted down pop bottles in a shed behind their house. David was there in this infancy and he was Charles first assistant at the age of ten. David has vivid memories of his childhood working in the shop with his father. When most children were playing childhood games he was spending time after school and on the weekends helping him at the bench. By the age of 14 he started learning how to do finishing work, polishing the bottom of the glass flat. David eventually followed in his fathers' footsteps and by the age of 15 began making paperweights. That ignited a passion to begin glass blowing.David has been creating his one of a kind vessels since 1978. His unique handcrafted works are designed with precise attention to detail. Developing his own glass formulas, David has created a complex palette of colors, giving him the ability to create his multi-layering and sculpting style. Each year David continues to study and refine the techniques he uses in creating his art.David's Clematis Reflection Series, Hollyhock Paperweight Series and Mixed Bouquets Series all reflect his floral patterns which capture his love for detail. He combines color and layering to create depth and beauty. His Organic Sculptures reflect movement and rich hues of a summer sunset. David is inspired by all nature. He has a successful ranch in the hills of Kentucky where he is inspired to evolve, change, and grow continually. He commutes back and forth to fulfill both loves. pwdrawer

레이 트레이시 나이프윙 나바호 스털링 터콰이즈, 라피스 크로스 펜던트 2.높이 75인치(보석 포함) x 너비 1 7/16인치 x 18.9g이면 문제 없습니다. 아티스트 Ray Tracey는 평생 동안 보석을 사랑해 왔습니다. 애리조나 주 소밀에서 어린 시절, 그의 할아버지인 Asa Tracey는 그의 삼촌을 위해 염소 풀무를 일했던 이야기로 그에게 영향을 미쳤습니다. Asa는 작은 주철 도가니에서 은을 녹일 대장간에서 불에 연료를 공급하기 위해 하루 종일 염소 풀무를 펌핑했습니다. 이 과정은 매우 노동집약적이었고 그의 할아버지는 그것을 싫어했습니다. 그런 다음 녹은 은을 석회석 주형에 부어 잉곳을 만듭니다. 그런 다음 보석상은 자신의 기술을 실행하고 새로운 보석이 만들어집니다.“완성된 주얼리를 보고 싶었고 제가 할 수 있는 모든 것을 배우고 싶었습니다. 뉴멕시코주 갤럽에 갈 때마다 나는 은제품을 보기 위해 골동품 매장을 방문하곤 했습니다.” Ray는 Gallup Intertribal Indian Ceremonial과 Navajo Nation Fair에서 보석 디자인을 보면서 시간을 보냈습니다. 어디에나 보석이 전시되어 있었습니다. 레이는 예술 작품을 감상하는 모습을 볼 수 있었습니다.Ray의 가족은 그가 6살이었을 때 애리조나 주 가나도로 이주했습니다. 아홉 살이던 어느 여름날, 그는 어머니에게 자신이 너무 지루하다고 불평했습니다. 다음날 그의 어머니는 그를 여름학교에 등록시켰고 그의 인생을 영원히 바꿔 놓았습니다. 그는 곧바로 미술시간에 가서 구석에 있는 은세공 테이블을 발견했습니다. 그는 할아버지의 이야기를 기억했고 나머지는 역사입니다. inch“수업 시간에 저는 어머니를 위해 은으로 첫 번째 반지를 만들었습니다. 알 수 없는 돌을 발견하고 카보숑을 만들었습니다. Hubbells Trading Post에서 보았던 옛날 스타일의 반지 디자인을 복사해 보았습니다. 눈물 한 방울이 돌의 측면에 붙어 있었습니다. 아주 단순한 디자인이었는데 완성하는데 일주일이 걸렸네요. 나는 계속해서 은을 녹였다. 나는 21세에 다음으로 은과 돌로 만든 작품을 만들어 어머니에게 드렸습니다. 또 다른 반지였지만 이번에는 돌 측면에 3개의 갈비뼈와 3개의 눈물 방울이 있는 갈라진 정강이였습니다.” 나는 아버지에게 평생 보석을 만들고 싶다고 말했다.”레이는 브리검 영 대학교에 다니면서 계속해서 보석을 만들었습니다. 낮에는 화학과 물리학을 공부하고 밤에는 보석을 만듭니다. “디자인은 단순했고, 제가 첫사랑한 것은 Old Style Navajo 주얼리였습니다. 주말에는 그의 작품을 팔기 위해 뉴멕시코 주 갤럽으로 여행을 갔습니다. BYU에 있는 동안 그의 창의성을 표현할 수 있는 또 다른 기회가 생겼습니다. 바로 연기였습니다. “저는 그다지 좋은 학생이 아니었기 때문에 할리우드는 즉시 매력을 느꼈습니다. 나의 창의력이 연기로 이어졌습니다. 연기는 창의적인 표현의 또 다른 출구일 뿐이었습니다.그의 모험적인 성격 덕분에 Ray는 장편 영화와 TV에서 배우로 수년을 보낼 수 있었습니다. 이 연기 우회로 인해 그는 결코 주얼리 디자인에 대한 관심을 잃지 않았습니다. 결국 Ray의 보석에 대한 사랑은 그를 뉴멕시코로 다시 데려와 이 예술 형식을 영구적으로 추구하게 되었습니다.“한 번은 갤럽에서 앨버커키로 여행하던 중 라 푸에블로 너머 지평선을 발견했습니다. 나는 메사에서 계단을 보았습니다. 저는 이러한 계단식 이미지를 팔찌 디자인에 통합했습니다.”“또 한번은 호블크릭 골프장에서 골프를 치던 중 강바닥에 자갈이 일렬로 늘어선 것을 보았다. 그 자갈은 영감을 받아 상감 팔찌의 측면에 배치되었습니다.”“가끔 내 창의력이 갑자기 중단될 때가 있어요. 이런 일이 발생하면 나는 내 뿌리로 돌아갑니다. 올드 스타일 쥬얼리. 그곳이 바로 매혹의 장소이다. Old Ones는 기본적인 도구를 활용하여 단순하면서도 완벽한 장인정신의 작품을 만들었습니다. 이 시점부터 저는 영감을 주는 아이디어를 창조할 수 있습니다. 반대로, 때때로 내 마음은 내가 기억할 수 있는 것보다 더 많은 디자인으로 가득 차게 됩니다. 아이디어는 너무 빨리 떠오르기 때문에 빨리 그릴 수가 없습니다.”“누군가가 내 디자인 중 하나를 입고 있는 것을 보면 그 작품이 만들어졌던 시절로 되돌아가는 것 같아요. 가끔은 내가 무엇을 먹고 있었는지, 심지어 내가 듣고 있던 음악이 생각날 때도 있습니다. 나는 그 디자인을 만드는 데 도움이 된 영감을 기억할 것입니다.”레이는 자신의 삶과 다른 사람들을 축복하고 계몽하며 영향을 미치는 자기 표현의 길이나 선물을 찾았습니다. 이 특별한 선물에 대한 인식은 그의 에너지와 창의성에 활력을 불어넣습니다. 영감은 그의 창의성을 예술적, 시각적 표현으로 전환하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 그의 작품은 전통에서 현대로의 전환적인 모습을 보여줍니다. 그는 아직 발견되지 않은 이미지의 미지의 영역에 이끌려 좋은 것을 창조한다. 그는 자신도 모르게 다음 세대가 배우고 성장할 수 있는 유산을 만들고 있습니다. Ray는 삶의 여정과 그 선물을 감사하고 포용하는 법을 배웠습니다.모든 귀금속은 테스트를 거쳐 보증되며, 은 또는 스털링이라고 불리는 모든 아메리카 원주민 보석은 최소 90%(동전) 은 함유 및 더 높은 함량을 보장합니다. 표시된 모든 것은 표시된 것과 동일함을 보장합니다. 대부분의 팔찌는 6인치 손목(털 없음)에서 촬영되며, 반지는 가능한 경우 적절한 크기의 손가락에 착용하여 촬영됩니다. 팔찌의 경우 설명에 치수가 명시되어 있지 않으면 금속이 천 줄자에 표시된 숫자와 만나는 내부 둘레가 표시됩니다.

Rebecca Collins, internationally known jewelry designer, is a native Texan and Phi Beta Kappa SMU graduate who started out as high school teacher. In 1975, Rebecca took a silversmithing class, where she discovered her passion for creating wearable works of art. Before she designed jewelry, she was an artist, and her paintings are now highly collectible. Rebecca Collins travels the world in search of materials for her jewelry, buying gemstones and antiquities from thousands of sources. Rebecca's designs are each singular and unique: as in nature, no two items are ever exactly alike. When she started designing jewelry, she discovered her fascination with connections between unrelated objects, which lies at the heart of her distinctive designs. Fans admire her artistic combination of contrasting materials such as faceted aquamarine with fossils, jade with vegetable "Off White", or two-thousand year old Roman glass....... her "quirky" combinations create her signature look. Her favorite artists for inspiration are Gustav Klimt and Henri Matisse. anderas

Red Adair, (1915-2004) Texas Oil Well Firefighter belt buckle. 3 3/8" x 2.25", takes up to a 1.75" belt. Paul Neal Adair was born in Houston, Texas in nineteen fifteen. He was one of five sons of a metal worker. He also had three sisters. While growing up, he became known as Red Adair because his hair was bright red. The color became a trademark for Adair. He wore red clothes and red boots. He drove a red car, and his crew members used red trucks and red equipment. As a young man, Red Adair dropped out of high school to help support his family. He worked as a laborer for several different companies. In nineteen thirty-eight, Adair got his first oil-related job with the Otis Pressure Control Company. During World War Two, Adair served on a trained army team that removed and destroyed s. After the war, he returned to Houston and took a job with Myron Kinley. At the time, Kinley was the leader in putting out fires in oil wells. Red Adair worked with Myron Kinley for fourteen years. But in nineteen fifty-nine, Adair started his own company. During his thirty-six years in business, Red Adair and his crews battled more than two thousand fires all over the world. Some were on land. Others were on ocean oil-drilling structures. Some fires were in burning oil wells. Others were in natural gas wells. Red Adair was a leader in a specialized and extremely dangerous profession. Putting out oil well fires can be difficult. This is because oil well fires are extinguished, or put out, at the wellhead just above ground. Normally, s are used to stop the fire from burning. The explosion robs the fire of oxygen. But, once the fire is out, the well still needs to be covered, or capped, to stop the flow of oil. This is the most dangerous part of the process. Any new heat or fire could cause the leaking well and the surrounding area to explode. Red Adair developed modern methods to extinguish and cover burning oil wells. They became known in the industry as Wild Well Control techniques. In addition to s, the techniques involved large amounts of water and dirt. Adair also developed special equipment made of bronze metal to help extinguish oil well fires. The modern tools and his Wild Well Control techniques earned Red Adair and his crews the honor of being called the "best in the business." Red Adair was known for not being afraid. He was also known for his sense of calm and safety. None of his workers were ever killed while putting out oil well or gas fires. He described his work this way: "It scares you -- all the noise, the rattling, the shaking. But the look on everyone's face, when you are finished and packing, it is the best smile in the world; and there is nobody hurt, and the well is under control." One of Red Adair's most important projects was in nineteen sixty-two. He and his crew put out a natural gas fire in the Sahara Desert in Algeria. The fire had been burning for six months. This famous fire was called the "Devil's Cigarette Lighter." Fire from the natural gas well shot about one hundred forty meters into the air. The fire was so big that American astronaut John Glenn could see it from space as he orbited Earth. The desert sand around the well had melted into glass from the extreme heat. News reports said Adair used about three hundred forty kilograms of nitroglycerine material to pull the oxygen out of the fire. Adair's success with the "Devil's Cigarette Lighter" and earlier well fires captured the imagination of the American film industry. In nineteen sixty-eight, Hollywood made an action film called "Hellfighters." It was loosely based on events in Red Adair's life. Actor John Wayne played an oil well firefighter from Houston, Texas whose life was similar to Adair's. Adair served as an advisor to Wayne while the film was being made. The two men became close friends. Adair said one of the best honors in the world was to have John Wayne play him in a movie. Here is John Wayne in the film "Hellfighters." He has just flown into Venezuela to help his crew fight a dangerous fire. He has brought needed supplies with him. In nineteen eighty-eight, Adair fought what was possibly the world's worst off-shore accident. It was at the Piper Alpha drilling structure in the North Sea. Occidental Petroleum operated the structure off the coast of Scotland. The structure produced oil and gas from twenty-four wells. One hundred sixty-seven men were killed when the structure exploded after a gas leak. Red Adair had to stop the fires and cap the wells. He faced winds blowing more than one hundred twenty kilometers an hour, and ocean waves at least twenty meters high. In March of nineteen ninety-one, Red Adair went to Kuwait following the Persian Gulf War. He and his crews were called in to help put out fires set by the Iraqi army as it fled from coalition forces. But Adair faced serious problems in putting out the fires. In June, he flew to Washington, D.C. to talk to government officials about those problems. He told congressional lawmakers that he needed more water and more equipment. He also described his concerns about medical services for his men, and the buried landmines throughout Kuwait. Adair also met with then-President George H.W. Bush. President Bush listened to his concerns and offered his support. Within weeks, Adair had the equipment he needed to complete the job. The Red Adair Company capped more than one hundred wells. His crews were among twenty-seven teams from sixteen countries called in to fight the fires. The crews' efforts put out about seven hundred Kuwaiti fires. Their efforts saved millions of barrels of oil. Some experts say the operation also helped prevent an environmental tragedy. The job had been expected to take three to five years. However, it was completed in just eight months. In a ceremony, the Emir of Kuwait extinguished the last burning well on November sixth, nineteen ninety-one. In addition to Kuwait, Adair and his men carried out sixteen other jobs that year. They worked in India, Venezuela, Nigeria, the Gulf of Mexico and the United States. Red Adair had spent his seventy-sixth birthday in Kuwait working side by side with his crew. When asked when he might retire, he told reporters: "Retire? I do not know what that word means. As long as a man is able to work, and he is productive out there and he feels good – keep at it." Still, Red Adair finally did retire in nineteen ninety-four. At that time, he joked about where he would end up when he died. He said he hoped to be in Heaven. But he said this about Hell: "I have made a deal with the devil. He said he is going to give me an air-conditioned place when I go down there – if I go there – so I won't put all the fires out." Red Adair died in two thousand four. He was eighty-nine years old. At his funeral, many family members and friends honored him by wearing red clothes. Many Americans remember Red Adair for his bravery. He lived his life on the edge of danger. He was known for his willingness to risk his own life to save others. During his life, Adair received Special Letters of Recognition from Presidents Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush. One of the letters said this: "You have served your country well by your willingness to do a dangerous and important job with a rare ability. In an age said to be without heroes, you are an authentic hero." anderas
