It was 1966 and the Vietnam War was escalating. My father was set to complete graduate school. He was examining his options. He had interviewed with the F.B.I. and the N.S.A or he could go in as an officer in the Navy and request duty on a submarine. He said that the good thing about a submarine was that if anything went wrong you either walked away or died, you would not return having left limbs in Vietnam. The phone was ringing as he unlocked the door to his student apartment in downtown Los Angeles. The voice at the other end of the line offered him a job at The Atomic Energy Commission. He would spend almost the next decade at The Nevada Test Site in the desert outside of Las Vegas; he would never go to Vietnam.
