- Four new members will be joining the Petroleum Hall of Fame at an induction ceremony on April 30, 2023, at the Bush Convention Center.
The Petroleum Museum’s Hall of Fame Committee announced F. Marie Hall, Kenneth B. Nolen, Edward Runyan and Don Sparks as the class of 2023.
The late F. Marie Hall, a native West Texan, was an accomplished businesswoman, working in banking and law and served as director of the State National Bank of Big Spring, but she is remembered more for her many philanthropic efforts.
Her philanthropy embraced medicine, nursing, health sciences, rural health care, rehabilitation, fine arts, higher education, research, architecture, interior design, sports, law and urban forestry.
In 2011, she established the FMH Foundation and served as president until her death in 2017.
FMH Foundation has been a very special part of Martin County the past few years with its generous contributions.
