In our story on the Manhattan Project Patent History Detectives mentioned inventor Harold Greene. That name rang a bell with viewer Melvyn Halbert:
The other inventor, Harold B. Greene, was someone I knew personally. I have lived and worked in Oak Ridge, TN, since 1955. I worked in one of the Calutron buildings until 1963.
In mid-1973 I bought a Model B Steinway grand piano, made about 1885, and had it shipped to Oak Ridge for one of my sons, who was then taking piano lessons. Mr. Greene advertised his services as a piano technician in the local newspaper, so I asked him to tune and regulate our "new" piano.
He continued to service it for us every six months or so. After each service he would play for a few minutes -- he was an excellent pianist. After this, I occasionally saw Mr. Greene around town, and finally saw his obituary when he passed away.
I didn't know of his work at Y-12, and I'm sorry now I never asked him about it.
