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

 
 
 

Did You Know?

During World War II it was rumored that the Army Air Force had been seen dropping pumpkins instead of bombs.  The rumor originated from someone who had learned or heard sensitive information from someone with the 509th Composite Group.  During practice bombing missions, the 509th Composite Group dropped "test" bombs of approximate size and weight of the "Fat Man" bomb.  These test bombs were mustard colored and were referred to as "pumpkins."
