GeoLegends:
An Evening with T. Boone Pickens

"An Evening with T. Boone Pickens"
On January 14th, 2008 the HGS continues its "Legends" series as we present one on the most successful geologists of our era, T. Boone Pickens. T. Boone Pickens is a geologist who believed in his prospects enough to do what it took to get them drilled, and in the end, that's where it all started. By the 1980s he came to believe that acquiring other companies had become more profitable than oil exploration and production. His skill lay in an ability to identify undervalued companies and make a profit when outside parties and the markets recognized their value. Boone Pickens' repeated attempts to take over companies much larger than his own led to his and Mesa Petroleum's greatest fame. He has made billions for himself and average investors by shaking up the moribund management of major corporations and by taking huge gambles in the energy industry. He has risen from his apparent financial deathbed at least twice. He has donated hundreds of millions to various philanthropies.
Join HGS at the January Dinner to hear from this interesting and at times controversial GeoLegend.
