My grandfather, Harold Carter Kohl, worked for Holmes and Narver and the AEC in the early 60's as an Atomic Engineer. I am looking for any information relating to his time with either organization and especially as related to Vela Uniform, his time in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Alaska, Nevada, or the Marshall Islands. I believe his specialty was designing detonation test sites.
When I was a little girl, he gave me a radioactive piece of salt from one of the test sites, which I used to lick whenever I went to his house. My father used to have picnics with his mother, brother, and cousins about 10 miles from the blast sites so they could watch the bombs go off (one of my Grandpa Hi's big "fun" ideas!)... pretty interesting family history, as related to Project Vela.
I'd love to talk to anyone who has information or who is currently searching for information related to the project. Hannah Kohl - kohl.hannah@gmail.com
Am looking for information about Project Coyboy. It was connected to this program. I need to verify that it was just regular explosives in a salt dome in Winnfield La and not radioactive. Sattmaster ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:30, 18 August 2011 (UTC).
