Our Golden Driller
Posted by Tasha on February 15th, 2010 in Uncategorized
Every Tulsan has photos like these stashed somewhere in their photo albums or digital files. Why? Because this here is the Golden Driller, and he’s one of our top tourist attractions here in T-Town.
Yes, a 76-foot tall, 22-ton likeness of a roustabout is something that every visitor to Tulsa wants to see. St. Louis has The Arch. Seattle has the Space Needle. San Antonio has The Alamo.
Here in Tulsa, we have this tall drink of sweet tea.
I’ll have to remember to ask Judi and Scott how Repackage Tulsa is coming along. I’ll keep you updated.
Do you have Golden Driller photos? Can I see ‘em?

The early 80's huh? Say back when people were possibly taking pictures of the more endowed Driller? I'm heading over to my parents to see if they have any in their stash. Come on Tulsa! Tasha needs one of these pictures.

AAAARRRGGGHHHH! if you had asked this Saturday(13th) I would have been able to walk into my bead room/studio, pick up my driller pix & send them to you, but I cleaned up Sunday & now they are put away somewhere,(I'm sure it made sense just where @ the time)somewhere where I can't find them. So, picture this, the Philbrook has this fabulous bead exhibit & the Driller is wearing beads made from plastic cups & cut up swimming 'noodles'. darn my burst of energy that caused me to clean up in there!
