My father move us to OKC in 1960 when the Western Electric plant opened on Reno and Council/ He had been working at Western Electric in Chicago since he got out of the service following WW2 and got a promotion to a management position with the transfer. Everyone on my father and mothers side of the family told him he was crazy to move us here and leave all our relatives in Chicago. We went back a lot on vacations in the 60s and 70s and I even go back to Chicago occasionally to visit a few relatives. After seeing what living in Chicago is like compared to living in OKC I am so glad my father moved us here.
