HAMBURG, Pa. - Approximately 50 people, including one from faraway Alaska, joined Alan Mercurio and Scott Lutz at the grand opening of the new Oil Tech Talk Center in Hamburg, Pa., June 24. After a few brief announcements and a welcome to all the faithful followers, the two hugged while the crowd applauded in recognition of the accomplishment of a dream.
The day consisted of attendees mostly milling around and participating in pre-assigned roundtable discussions. The classroom was open for inspection and the lab was turned into a lunchtime chow line of roasted pig and all the necessary trimmings befitting a grand opening celebration.
