Current Project

This is Who We Once Were Here – is the title of my current research project. At least one book and several articles are planned, all based on 100+ WWII era family letters my grandmother kept.

These letters provide details and insights into what life was like during WWII when my grandmother kept the home fires burning while my grandfather, a Manhattan Project engineer, traveled from Boston to Oak Ridge and back each week, my uncle was 10th Mountain Division member training in Colorardo and my father, who started working on Manhattan Project related work as a teenager and continued into his late twenties but which he rarely talked about.
