From: dave_baurac@qmgate.anl.gov (David M. Baurac) 

 The Office of Public Affairs at Argonne National Laboratory is trying to
 fill in a basic list of information on the fates or whereabouts of the 51
 people, including Enrico Fermi, who were present on Dec. 2, 1942, when
 the first nuclear reactor went critical.  Our current list is on the Web
 at http://www.anl.gov/OPA/history/cp1list.html.  If you have information
 or know of a likely source, please check out our Web page and contact us.
 For your convenience, the Web page contains an email button, phone number
 and address.

 Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.
