My father, William (Bill) E. Perrine is in this video. He was 30 years old when the filming took place. His sharp eyed grandson found this video and identified his grandfather late last year (2023). We were thrilled to show my father the film over Christmas. You will find my father wearing a red engineer's metal safety helmet, carrying a bull horn while leading the tour at 3:26, 4:10, 4:33, 5:14, 5:27, 5:41, 6:50 and 7:02. The last two scenes he is standing in front of the bus in the parking lot and he is not wearing the safety helmet. My father retired from Ashland Oil in 1992. Thank you for producing this video as it brings back so many wonderful memories.
I live near this existing refinery today which is still going strong as a Marathon Refinery. I worked at Ashland Exploration in the 80's and 90's. Ashland Oil was what held Ashland, Kentucky together. A true legacy.
Thank you for sharing this video. My grandfather, Everett B Reeves, worked at the refinery before becoming Director of Corporate Land Development . He was also elected mayor of Ashland twice, from 1964-1968 and 1984-1988.
My father would have known some of these names as he worked the refinery for 44 years. He took us close by to view the Marshall Crash a few days after when the fuselage was being lifted and moved.
Great work, it was nice to see that some of that equipment and even some of the buildings still stand till this day, and a working control room what a relic,
My dad worked 42 years at the Ashland Oil Refinery. He really enjoyed his time there.

What a delight to learn! It's a pleasure to share these long forgotten bits of history. Now you can share it with family anywhere.
Very sharp eyed grandson.

Cool relic of the past! I worked at that refinery from 2012 to 2019.
Ashland biggest High School was named after Paul G Blazer. Proud to an alumni and graduated in 1976. Thanks for the video
