This is a bit off topic but there is a Tucker connection here and what happened is a very important event in modern history.
On Dec 2 1942, as part of the Manhattan Project, scientists led by Enrico Fermi conducted the world's first controlled self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction at the University of Chicago.
What has this to do with Tucker? Two guys that worked for Preston had a hand in building the atomic pile ,as it was called. Those two were Bill Price,Sr.,my dad and Joe Lencki.
Preston had some heavyweights working for him considering Joe and dad were hand picked by Dr. Fermi to work with him.
