By BEN BARNHARTLos Alamos

I doubt I can imagine the time and effort (owner) Allan Saenz and staff and volunteers must have expended while creating and organizing and coordinating the event. This included obtaining support of all kinds from many other groups in town including the Historical Society, Manhattan Project National Historical Park and many others for support in the project.
