Raynie Tony Pullman was born on October 14, 1956, to Joe and Margie (Schmeichel) Pullman at Huron. He grew up and attended school at Wolsey. He worked for Marko Steel Company for a few years, and in 1973 for Huron Drilling, Inc. In 1978, Raynie and his brother, Jeraine, started Pullman Well Drilling. The business will continue to be operated by the Pullman family. On April 9, 1980, Raynie married Helen Hankins at Huron, and the couple made their home at Wolsey. He was a member of the First Baptist Church at Wolsey, the Wolsey Volunteer Fire Department, Onward Wolsey, and the North Dakota South Dakota Well Drillers Association. Raynie spent most of his free time working on something, but he also enjoyed boating at his lake-home at Lake Byron, cooking and grilling, playing cards and board games, landscaping his yard, and electronics-especially his big-screen-flat TV and stereo equipment. Operating the construction equipment was always fun for Raynie. He also had a big heart and was always ready to help a person in need.
