Like many men in his time, Growder decided to use the skills he developed working in the Lambton County oil fields to find employment as an International Driller. His career as an International Driller lasted for 32 years, drilling in India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Japan. After retiring from the oil industry he resided in Northern Ontario. |
