  • Marina Metevelis a True Blue “Rosie the Riveter” and Promoter and Preserver of Tulsa History, Including Its Famous Tunnels
    Marina Metevelis A true blue “Rosie the Riveter” and promoter and preserver of Tulsa history, including its famous tunnels. Chapter 01 – 0:59 Introduction Announcer: Marina Metevelis answered the call to defend the United States as one of the iconic bandanna-clad Rosie the Riveters. Marina was sixteen when Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941—she applied for a job at the Wichita aircraft plant where the B-17 Flying Fortresses met the wings that carried them into battle. She became a Rosie the Riveter her senior year in high school. When she was a kid, Marina spent summers in Tulsa visiting her uncles. They were 32nd Degree Masons, and so were the oil barons. During those visits, Marina met all of the oil barons…thus her knowledge of Tulsa’s history and the tunnels in downtown Tulsa, which eventually led her to become a tour guide through those famous tunnels in 1992. She was also a librarian at Tulsa Community College [TCC] and served as Director of The Heritage Center at TCC. Marina was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1924. But her story actually begins in Greece which she talks about in her oral history interview on VoicesofOklahoma.com. Chapter 02 – 4:18 Coming to America John Erling: My name is John Erling and today’s date is October 20, 2011. Marina, would you state your full name, please. Marina Metevelis: Marina Ann Metevelis. JE: Your date of birth and your present age? MM: March 25, ’24, and I’m eighty-seven years old. JE: Where are we recording this interview? MM: We are recording in the Heritage Center at Northeast Campus of Tulsa Community College.

Slowhand was een wedergeboorte, niet alleen muzikaal. Clapton – begin de jaren zeventig een wereldster – overwon een heroïneverslaving, alvo- rens hij zich muzikaal ging herbronnen in de Tulsa sound, afkomstig uit de staat Oklahoma in het zuiden van de VS.
