October 8th – Speaker: Jeff Smith – The Good Ol’ Days

With a lifelong passion for geology, Jeff Smith earned his bachelor’s degree in geology from Union College in New York in 1968 and his master’s degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1970. Jeff then moved from New York to Midland, Texas to begin his career in the oil and gas industry. How has life and the oil industry evolved over the decades? What things have remained the same? Please join us for a look back with Jeff, as he tells witty and entertaining stories of his life and career experiences as a petroleum geologist in the Permian Basin.
