Living An Atomic Life
 
 
My life is exploding, bombs keep dropping, and the fallout lands in the strangest of places. My father’s intimate involvement with the Cold War Atomic & Nuclear Tests, and the aftermath, have come to influence every aspect of my life. How little we all knew about the consequences. OVER-EXPOSED Still Glowing ! It always felt like I really didn’t live in the same world my friends and extended family lived in. Now that my father’s secret & “Queen’s Clearance” military life has become declassified, My Atomic Life continues to unfold as I learn more about these people who raised me and the nuclear testing events that changed their lives. It’s amazing, the bombs just keep coming! Emotional, medical, logistical and now the psychological impact of having to reprocess and rewrite decades of family history and reframe my memories and experiences with a new understanding. I get it NOW... decades later, why they raised me the way they did. Living like there was no tomorrow and they took me along for the ride. THANK YOU To the Veteran’s, researchers & Atomic Energy Organizations that have helped me personally and those who continue to archive, report and research these amazing times. I will keep adding more details & photos... as they surface. And A very special THANKS... To my friends and family. You have patiently
indulged and supported me not only through the latest revelations. but in riding the roller-coaster these two people set my life upon. Evidently, at times, even they had no idea what they were embarking upon for themselves, nor the impact it would have on us all as a family. After they had died, their friends remarked that they had lived their lives on their own terms. They worked and played hard in a technically progressive cutting-edge world. These people lived an explorative life of rich experience and passed that passionate gift on to me. By example they encouraged that you should live life today, tomorrow it may well 
be gone! Boundary pushing at every turn... scientific, environmental, socially progressive, women’s liberation, the sexual revolution, medical research and then some. TOP SECRET To those of you who keep telling me I should write a book about the avant garde upbringing and outrageous stories . . . I never knew where to begin to explain the strangeness of it all. As I see now, the story gets even bigger, better and more outrageous. This will be a journey spanning 6 decades as my brother and I come to grips with our past and the secrecy that has permeated and defined every element of our lives and relationships. How they lived their lives changed radically after Howard experienced at least 24 of these events. THIS explains a lot. The reality of my past (and present) revealed itself with a simple call from a friend who had bought me a movie. It has opened a door to my recently declassified life. I did not go seeking to resolve the riddles of my past. Ironically, this occurred on Independence Day of 2008 when I solidly stepped into a time warp in an attempt to understand deep mysteries. There I discovered the repercussions that still exist for me from Cold War Atomic testing. This has forced reprocessing many experiences with a new reality of what the truth was and the undercurrent of my world, as I knew it... until now. I have to say, it feels as insane as what the scientists were doing. Memories take on a totally new meanings as the veil of secrecy is lifted. It changes the dynamics of thought, feelings and understanding of past experiences. And oh, yeah... I’m still part of their experiment! Second generation radiation exposure.
