Atomic Preparedness in the 1950’s
On January 15, 2019 HSSR Members gathered at the Sixth Street Playhouse and enjoyed a panel discussion. The distinguished panel discussed Santa Rosa’s preparations in the Atomic 1950’s.
It was an evening of radiation recall where we revisited those golden years of smiling students under desks awaiting the big blast. Memories of your neighbor pacing off his back yard after reading the latest copy of Popular Mechanics describing how to build your very own bomb shelter. Panelists walked members through a stroll down Santa Rosa’s memory lane to the 1950s and 60’s of “our town” when atomic energy was both friend and foe.
