I understand - I was raised around the oil fields of southern KS and northern OK. Dad worked for Texaco from just out of high school before WW2, went to the service and went back to Texaco in 1948, staying to his death in the 70s. I have a few pictures like that stashed away, too.

Can't and shouldn't are not the same thing. If you have oil history back to the 20's, you've seen plenty of companies fold up and go away while others stayed around and made money.
