On Friday,
August 1st, the KGS will hold its annual
picnic. It will be at
AllStar Sports Entertainment
again this year. We had a good response to this
change of venue last year. Most positive was the
fact that we can eat inside an air conditioned room!
See more details about the picnic on page
9.
I hope everyone is having a safe and enjoyable sum-
mer.

FROM THE MANAGER'S DESK
Dear Members,
The lull of summer is upon us. It seems to slow
down a bit in the summer with no technical meetings
taking place. It seems that a lot of geologists are out
on wells also, this is a good thing! At any rate, it has
been quiet in the library.
The Thursday night volunteer force has accom-
plished the file stretch as of the 19th of June. Please
thank those who worked on this when you see them.
That would be
Sal Mazzullo, Chellie Teal-
Mazzullo, Marj Crane, Ted Jochems, Larry
Friend, Paul Ramondetta, Kimberly Dimmick-
Wells & Brian Wilhite. Another person who
worked very hard on this project, as well as other
projects, was
Bob Wasson. It is with great sadness
that I have to report that Bob is no longer with us.
He left the first of June for Geology Field Camp with
WSU and suffered a fatal heart attack. Not only did
we lose a wonderful volunteer but also a promising
petroleum geologist. If you are so inclined, a memo-
rial has been established with Wichita State Univer-
sity Foundation, 1845 Fairmont, Wichita, KS 67260,
the
Robert F. Wasson Scholarship Memorial. If
you would care to give to that memorial, you may
send it directly to WSU or contact me here at the li-
brary. Bob made a decision rather late in life to pur-
sue the study of geology and would have made a
very fine geologist. I am sure he would be pleased
that a scholarship fund has been established to help
others pursue the study of geology.
The KGS Golf tournament was held on June 16th at
the Hidden Lakes Golf Club. We had a fair turnout,
84 golfers. We changed the tee-off time to 1:00 PM
this year in hopes of making it easier for out of town-
ers to come and play. We are not sure if this had any
great effect on our turnout so we have posted a sign-
up sheet in the library to let you tell us which way
you like it, morning tee-off or afternoon tee-off. Or
just give me a call and let me know or let John Wil-
liams know. By the way, a big thank you to
John T.
Williams for putting this golf tournament together.
Along with his committee,
Jerry Mason, Mike
Reed, Kevin Davis and Ron Schraeder, they pro-
vided members and guests with a wonderful after-
noon of golf! Some pictures of the golfing day are
included on this page and the following page.
