Subject:Missing: Association of Petroleum Writers From:LaVonna Funkhouser <lffunkhouser -at- HALNET -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 26 Aug 1993 14:27:19 -0500
This seems to be a good place to ask questions like this:
Has anyone ever heard of the Association of Petroleum Writers (APW)?
Apparently, it was a small assoc. limited to writers in the oil/gas
industry and located primarily in Tulsa, OK.
The info. I have is from an old Book of Associations, but the info.
it provides leads to a dead end. It is likely that APW died in the
oil bust of the 1980s, but has anyone heard this for certain?
If you have access to a Book of Associations that is less than 10 years
old, please let me know whether APW is still listed. Thanks.
