Re: Trintiy Site as Positive PR?? -Reply

For those who have never been to Trinity site it is in fact a unique 
experience.  People come from all over as a pilgrimage and in fact to 
look for two headed horny toads in the desert.  Some of the more 
interesting aspects are the older workers from the original Manhattan 
project that show up each year with fascinating stories to tell.  Trinity 
Site can be very educational and an effort is put forth very earnestly to 
educate the public about radiation.  The background radiation at Trinity 
Site is approximately 10 times normal.  The variety of visitors include 
science teachers, religious groups on a pilgrimage, protestors, and the 
everyday person.  To try and educate everybody is very difficult.  Lisa 
and her boss George Wenz do an excellent job in conjunction with the 
Public Relations staff at White Sands Missile Range to ensure the public 
has an enjoyable day.  Any positive input to her request I'm sure is 
welcome.
