On exhibit from April 27th – June 25th, 2012
Everette Lee DeGolyer, Sr., known as “De” or “Mr. De” to family, friends, and associates, attributed much of his success to pure luck. He was a legendary pioneer in the field of petroleum geology and applied geophysics and is often referred to as the “father of American geophysics.” Making a fortune, by applying science to the oil industry, allowed Mr. DeGolyer to excel in his other avocations–book collecting, writing, publishing, and lecturing.
