On 11 March, the Society of Economic Geophysicists was founded by 30 geoscientists at the University Club in Houston. A committee was appointed to study petition of affiliation with AAPG. SEG papers 1 and 2 were published in mimeograph form in 1931 as a group of papers presented before the Society in 1930. Paper 2: "A suggested method of approach for determination of salt dome overhang" by O. C. Lester Jr. Standing Committees: Nominations and Annual Meeting. The name of the Society was changed to the Society of Petroleum Geophysicists.

Robert C. Dunlap served as the 1955-1956 SEG President Robert C. Dunlap, Jr., was graduated from Southern Methodist University in 1933 with a B.S. and Honors in Geology, and took postgraduate work in geology and geophysics at Harvard University in 1933-1934. In July, 1934 he was employed by Geophysical Service Inc., as a computer and was promoted to party chief in 1937. In 1943 he became a field supervisor and in 1949 was made vice-president in charge of the Pacific Coast Division of the company. He has worked in the Gulf Coast, mid-Continent, Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast areas. At present he is located in Dallas, Texas, as vice-president of domestic operations.

Marion R. Bone is a geophysicist noted for his competence as a researcher, his pioneering work in 3D seismic, his leadership in industry, and his service to the geophysical community. He served as the 1992-1993 SEG President. Marion R. Bone, candidate for President-Elect, has been an Active member of SEG since 1974. He is currently Series Editor fot the Geophysical Reference Series (1987-89) and served on the SEG Executive Committee as Vice-President in 1984-85. He was an instructor fot the original SEG Continuing Education Course on 3-D technology from 1979 to 1984 and was on the Arrangements Committee for the 44th Annual SEG Meeting in Dallas in 1974.

J. Frank Rollins (1913-1999) was one of SEG's most active and longtime members. He was awarded SEG Life Membership in 1982 in honor of his contributions to exploration geophysics and to the SEG. SEG lost one of its most active and longtime members when Frank Rollins died 13 June 1999, at the age of 85, at his home in Dallas, Texas, U.S. He was born 22 November 1913 in the small town of China, Texas (just west of Beaumont). After graduating from Texas A & M University in 1934, he went directly into the newly developing geophysical industry where he was active for the next 51 years.

Bin Wang has been an associate editor of Geophysics since 2007 in velocity model building. He served on the SEG Technical Committee for the annual meetings in 1997, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013, organizing and chairing technical sessions on migration, velocity model building, tomography, and full-waveform inversion. Bin has organized and coorganized three SEG summer research workshops and five postconvention workshops. He has been a member of the SEG Research Committee since 2007. It is most appropriate for SEG to award life membership to Bin Wang to recognize his exceptional contribution and service to the Society, which can be dated to nearly 20 years ago.

Not until 1958 would TI's new transistors be challenged by the competition. This headstart meanwhile enabled the company to grow at an average compounded rate of 40 percent a year, turning it into Wall Street's darling and, as Jonsson once put it, "the Tiffany's of the electronics industry." To maintain that position in a free, highly competitive economy, TI management continued to make major allowances for R&D. Thus, when a given market reached overcapacity (as it happened with semiconductors by 1961), a sophisticated new product would be in line to generate profits from another direction. Such a strategy afforded TI several lucrative leads - to cite but a few examples, the integrated circuit (1958), the electronic hand-held calculator (1967), the single chip microcomputer (1971), and 3-D seismic surveying (1973). In this manner the 56-year history of the TI/GSI combine has caused present-day megafigures: well over 77,000 employees worldwide; 5 billion last year in spite of a 14 percent decline from the previous one. And all this largely owed to the vision ("- without being a dreamer," as a Texas governor once qualified) of "Mr.

Eugene McDermott (February 12, 1899- August 24, 1973) was a pioneering geophysicist and one of the founders of Texas Instruments. He served as the 1933-1934 SEG President. The petroleum exploration industry lost a great pioneer and mankind lost a wonderful friend when Eugene McDermott died at his home in Dallas on August 24, 1973. Eugene McDermott was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., on February 12, 1899. He graduated in electrical engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in 1919.
