|
|
inducted into the Petroleum Hall of Fame on April 10, 2025; and |
|
|

|
|
individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the |
|
|
development of the petroleum industry or have served as worthy |
|
|
examples to their peers; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Following her graduation from Arkansas State |

|
gas business in the 1970s; after moving to the Dallas area, she was |
|
|

|
|
went on to work as an independent landman before being hired by ARCO |
|
|

|
|
agreements after her retirement; highly respected in her industry, |
|
|
she was honored by the American Association of Professional Landmen |
|
|
as the 2013 Landman of the Year; moreover, she earned a sterling |

|
|
WHEREAS, A trailblazer and a champion of the oil and gas |
