I'm sure glad I'm posting this in the boring, drivel thread.
i understand perfectly. i wish i could talk about my Dad too, but there is too much identifying information. he was internationally known and involved with the first A-bomb that we dropped on Hiroshima, one of Oppenheimer's men at Oak Ridge. and our space program. i went to the Pentagon with him several times as a girl. and the White House. i know you're proud of your Dad, and i am also. i sometimes will discuss him with trusted friends, but don't say much online. he wouldn't want me to.
I just watched a movie about that the other day. About the Germans and how our rocket program was really their rocket program and about how Oppenheimer was charged with being a Soviet Agent and about how Einstein hated the bomb.
I've always wanted to visit Oak Ridge, TN. I like the feel of places histroy was made. I've been close to White Sands, but never been on the actual site.
I visit places like that on my vacations (trying to give the little one the love of science I have). Except this month, we are going to a beach maze and Ripley's. haha Gotta have time for the weird stuff, too.
