Or, perhaps as a single mother (to my father) she did not have many options. The workers were not told what they were working on building. After Hiroshima/Nagasaki, they discovered they had been making those bombs. Many, like my grandmother, quit in huge distaste. She was followed by federal agents for years, with disastrous results for her mental health. No one believed her, of course. <br /><br />Now those tanks are ready to go. There is not any more time to put off fixing this one. Given the endless pussyfooting around here in Japan, I really fear for the Columbia River's future.Darth 3.11noreply@blogger.com
