The Uncommon Man: Crawford H. Greenewalt PDF Print E-mail

The Atomic Heritage Foundation just released a documentary film, The Uncommon Man: Crawford H. Greenewalt, which looks at a man who made extraordinary contributions to the Manhattan Project as well as science, industry and society.  Born in Philadelphia, Greenewalt attended MIT before going to work at the DuPont Company.  He quickly rose through DuPont and played a key part in the Manhattan Project before becoming the president of the company.  Despite his extraordinarily successful professional life, Greenewalt still found time to spend with his family and to pursue a variety of hobbies, including a study of hummingbirds.  The film utilizes extensive footage from Greenewalt and DuPont family movies and features interviews with many of Crawford’s friends, peers and family members.  We hope that you enjoy The Uncommon Man.

AHF would like to thank Crystal Trust for its generous support of this project.  We would also like to thank our producer Jeffrey Nalezney and all those who were interviewed for the film.

Atomic Story of the Week

The Eastman Kodak guy that was interviewing me gave me the General Groves treatment! I asked him, “Where will I be working? Will I work  for you guys in Rochester?”

“No, won’t be working in Rochester.”

“Well, where will I be working?”

“Well, I can’t tell you.”

“Well, what kind of work will I be doing?”

“Well, it’s going to be war work.”

But I said, “what kind of chemistry will it be? Organic, inorganic, physical?”

“No, can’t tell you. Secret! Secret, secret, secret!”

I didn’t see anything to object to, so I said OK. I knew it was a good company.
