Drake Story Being Retold -Well

摘要

"I wish I had a nickel for every time I've tried to explain ... to the bus-exiting kids that oil has been around almost forever and that our claim to fame is drilling to get it." Not that she minds repeating the tale, for Barbara Zolli, director of the Drake Well Museum in Pennsylvania, says, "It's our story and we take pride in sharing it." As old as the oil industry itself, it's a story that's 150 years in the making, which is why it deserved a birthday present of sorts. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania recently granted more than $6 million for much-needed renovations and expansions at the museum for the rapidly approaching "Oil 150 Celebration" in 2009.
