Dr. Wayne Pettyjohn, professor emeritus, Oklahoma State University holds the record for most piezometers (43) at a residence. Aside from training graduate students and professionals, Wayne provided a course that retooled approximately 1300 professionals from the petroleum industry to the water industry to provide employment from the oil bust during the 1980’s. Due to the vagaries of federal rules, we do not have a list of these geologic professionals. However, we would like to have a party in honor of Wayne on Oct 1st, 2010 in Stillwater, Oklahoma. If you were a student or friend of Wayne’s and would like to attend our celebration of his career, please contact Todd Halihan at todd.halihan@okstate.edu or OSU School of Geology, 105 NRC, Stillwater, OK 74078 for more information.
