and caught a trace of him there.
I am reading about bombs.
Robert Oppenheimer.
and the secret city of Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
I am reading about rockets.
and Warner Von Braun.
and the race to the moon.
My father didn’t go to the moon.
but he tried to get others there.
and his name is there.
His work was first about airplane engines.
then purifying uranium to make atomic bombs.
then modeling three dimensional elasticity.
then designing combustion stability in
the chambers of the Saturn V rocket.
And then to end it all all.
there was some kind of explosion.
in the chambers of his heart.
More than one.
And so I cannot get to him.
I sift through the blast debris just for a trace.
This was an educational and emotionally rewarding process for me as I researched about my father's career, and gathered family photos and documents. I finished sewing the panel in 2011, and planned to send it then as a part of the 'closure' process, but found I could not part with it. I have since finished making an exact replica, which I will keep in my home.
