COMMISSIONER
BODE, OTHERS TO HONOR OKLAHOMA’S OIL PIONEERS
(Oklahoma City) Oklahoma
Corporation Commission Vice-Chair Denise Bode will be among the speakers at a
dedication ceremony for the Conoco Oil Pioneers of Oklahoma Plaza, a
special outdoor educational exhibit area at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of
Natural History at the University of Oklahoma in Norman.
The exhibit tells the
remarkable stories of the people who helped shape the history of the oil and
gas industry in Oklahoma during the early days of the Oklahoma Oil boom.
“It is fitting for all
Oklahomans to pay tribute to these pioneers,” said Bode. “They not only shaped
an industry, they also shaped an entire nation. The ‘Oklahoma Spirit’ we speak so proudly of today came from
them.”
The dedication ceremony
begins at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 5. The public is invited to attend.
