Today In Wyoming's History: August 31: 1916  John S. Wold, Wyoming's Congressman from 1969 to 1971, and a well known Wyoming oil man, was born in East Orange, New Jersey.

He was the first professional geologist to be elected to Congress.  He served a single term as he went on to run against incumbent Senator Gale McGee and lost that election.  He is still living at the time of this post.
