New business discussed was as follows:
Tim Pierce was approached at the AAPG meeting in
Salt Lake City, Utah by Pen Energy. They would
like to place a computer in our library (at their ex-
pense) which would allow us to access their produc-
tion database for the Mid-Continent area (Texas pan-
handle, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas).
Tim Pierce also met with Jack Thomas of the AAPG
while in Salt Lake City, and discussed the desire of
the AAPG to digitize our publications of Field Guide
Books and the Oil and Gas Fields of Kansas Vol-
umes. Discussion followed that we hardly ever sell
any of these publications. The AAPG would pay the
KGS a royalty after their costs were recouped. Mr.
Pierce will discuss this in more detail with Jack Tho-
mas of the AAPG.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:05 PM
