The Atomic Bomb
Fall 1995
| Volume 11
| Issue 2
Your articles on the atomic bomb brought back memories. How Oak Ridge, Tennessee, missed being mentioned I don’t understand. I was in the Army Corps of Engineers there when General Groves would come into Nashville by train and we would furnish vehicles for his use. We transferred twenty of the largest dump trucks I have ever seen to the Oak Ridge project. I was never able to get a definite answer from General Groves when I would ask what we had at the one or two places we called “demolition projects.” I’ve often wondered what he thought when I used the word demolition with no knowledge of what it truly meant.
