This has nothing to do w/numbers stations, but its a neat story, & I don't know where else to put it. This old lady that was a big bud of my grandmother, ran a boarding house during the War. There were 3 guys who would stay with her every so often, they had a truck, & usually one would stay w/it, while the others would sleep inside. They'd spend the night, come back a day or 2 later, & then she wouldn't see them for a month or 2. This continued all thru the war years. Mrs Thompson got to know them fairly well, but never asked what they were doing. After the War was over, one of them came back & asked her if she ever wondered what they were doing. She said yes, but it wasn't any of her business, so she never asked. The guy said, "Mrs Thompson, we were going back & forth to Oak Ridge. Several nights, you had parts of the Atomic Bomb sitting in yr driveway !" She's long since gone, but her house is still there-about a block away from where I'm sitting as I type this. -Sandy G.
