Because of his engineering background, he was made manager of a refinery in Moose Jaw, Sask., the first of a remarkable series of jobs that during the next 30 years put him into every facet of the petroleum business. During World War II, big (6 ft. 2 in., 200 Ibs.), craggy-faced Ken Jamieson was appointed an Ottawa-based oil liaison officer between the Canadian and U.S. Governments. When peace came, Imperial Oil Ltd., the Canadian subsidiary of Standard Oil (New Jersey), made...
