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.

BILL WILCOX, OAK RIDGE
