My mother worked on the Manhattan Project and was so proud of her contribution. She passed away last year at age 95.

I like the part of “three days of basic training”. My Father joined the Army Air Corp in 1942. When they found out he had an A&E license he spent only six days in basic.

Until recently, I worked and lived in Los Alamos. My next door neighbor there is now 97. He was a chemist at the lab and, among other things, witnessed the Trinity test. He had some amazing stories.

I saw Benjamin Bederson speak in person last year. What a engaging speech. You could not help but hold this man in awe. What a great American.

I had no idea how huge & involved that project just in Oak Ridge was until we watched the documentary on PBS. A whole city was created very quickly to accommodate the personnel that supported that project.

If you want to read the definitive, in my opinion, book on the Manhattan Project, read Richard Rhodes’ “The Making of the Atomic Bomb”. It takes you from Leo Szilard’s idea through to July, 1945. Absolutely fascinating!!
