You don't expect tears from a group of hard-bitten oil executives, but there they were. Jonathan Stuart, the plant manager for Valero's St. Charles oil refinery, near New Orleans, was briefing a delegation from the company's San Antonio headquarters--including CEO Bill Greehey--on how the plant and its 50-man "ride-out" crew had fared during Hurricane Katrina. And he began to cry. Explaining how one maintenance supervisor had used his personal credit card to buy supplies the day before the storm hit and then stayed up night and day cooking gumbo for the crew during its aftermath, Stuart lost it. "Excuse me a minute," he mumbled, wiping his eyes as he stepped out of the conference room. For Greehey, who'd flown into New Orleans that day--getting special permission to use the closed airport--it was a moment both devastating and reassuring.
