DESCRIPTION:Annual Lecture Series\nSpeaker: Kathy Svec, daughter of a Project researcher\nThe desperate, top-secret race during World War II to master the military technology of nuclear fission before Nazi Germany played out in 32 sites across the U.S. and Canada. The story of how Ames became one of these sites will be told by the speaker, whose father, Harry J.
