Pat Jennette, Publisher & Editor 8QFRYHULQJWKH +LVWRU\RI2LOLQ2XU7RZQV If you’ll recall, in our previous issue of Allegheny West Magazine, we ran a piece on the history of oil drilling in the Robinson Township area. It’s a little known facet of our local history, but one that left a significant mark, and seemed all the more relevant to us in light of the recent natural gas drilling boom. We also ran versions of this story in our other two editions. In the October West Allegheny issue, we looked at how oil built an entire town. This month, for our final installment, we ran a piece in our Moon edition examining what happened to the industry there, and how it ultimately disappeared. You can read both versions on our Web site, where we have the current Moon edition posted, and the October West Allegheny edition available under the archives tab. While you’re there, I hope you’ll flip through some of these other issues to get an idea of what we covered in your neighboring areas over the past year. If you enjoy our Montour edition, I’m sure you’ll find some other stories of interest about our region. We look forward to bringing you more intriguing topics in the coming year.
