It was very exciting times. And of course when the bomb was dropped in August ‘45, the town went wild. It was absolutely crazy. As was generally reported in the papers, very few of the people here knew that we were working on a bomb, and just about no one knew what the status was, as relatively young engineers... it was not possible for us to know how much material was needed for a weapon or anything else. We weren’t sophisticated physicists like Oppenheimer and the rest of them out in Los Alamos.
