    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called "I Love Oklahoma", and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Tulsa Mid-Continent refinery is now the Sun Oil refinery. My graddad (I'll call him my dad since he and my grandmother Margaret raised my sister and me), Rusty Morton worked there for many years, retiring in 1982. As a matter of fact, I'm packing up to move from my home in Blaine, WA on Puget Sound, and my granddad's Sunray DX hard hat is in there on the kitchen counter.

    Mike, The Mid-Continent Refinery in Tulsa was changed to Sun Oil Company, then Sunray DX. It was sold a couple years ago to HollyFrontier and is still being operated. HollyFrontier also bought the Sinclair Refinery at the same time. They completed an underground network to move products back and forth under the interstate and community last year. Roy Heim, Southwest Tulsa Historical Society. CrimeDet@aol.com. Thanks for posting the picture by John Vachon. He did some amazing photography in Tulsa and other places in the early 1940's (World War II era).
