IN MEMORY


Ben Donegan, CPG-648, age 88, passed away peace- fully on Wednesday January 27, 2016. Ben was born in Amarillo, Texas on September 6, 1927 and grew up during the Great Depression. Ben’s difficult early


years produced a man of immense inner strength and self-reliance, characteris- tics that would serve him well through- out his life.


Ben studied geology for three years at Texas Tech, put in a stint in the Navy that included a year at Stanford, and then another year at the University of Texas at Austin. His life-long career in geology grew out of an interest in pale- ontology. While a student at UTA, Ben discovered a new specimen collecting fos- sils in West Texas that was named after him in the September, 1950 Journal of Paleontology. His journey as a profes- sional geologist began when Ben, his wife, Ruby and infant daughter Nancy journeyed west to Albuquerque where his son, Mike was born and where he began his career as a uranium explora- tion geologist. Soon Ben, joined by his brother Bob, turned his attention to oil, gas and mining exploration, an endeavor that would last to the day he died.
