Short, but special time spent in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The city of Oak Ridge, TN, was enclosed behind a fence and not even on a map until 1949. The "Secret City" was home to those who were commissioned to work on a top-secret project that would play a pivotal role in the Manhattan Project to create the world's first atomic bomb and bring an end to WWII. On Thursday night, we met with Pops' long time high school friend, Karen, at Big Ed's (located within the Historic Jackson Square). On Friday morning, Morgan swam at the 102-meter, historic Oak Ridge pool - but, 30 minutes in, bad weather caused them to cancel practice for the first time in 14 years! Later that day, we visited Pops' 1st home in Oak Ridge, "the bridge", and his beloved high school. We are all extremely grateful that Pops survived his fall from the bridge on that snowy morning (with house slippers on) and lived to tell his children & grandchildren about it!!
