Laboratory retiree Ken Ewing talks about the commercial candy cooker that was used to melt explosives at the Laboratory's historic V site during the Manhattan Project at the "A Handful of Soldiers" exhibit opening reception Thursday at the Bradbury Science Museum. The exhibition, produced by the Office of Cultural Affairs of the State Historic Preservation Division, features acrylic paintings on canvas and paper by painter John Hull, who is the chair of Visual Arts at the University of Colorado, Denver. He is the son of McAllister Hull, who worked in the Army's Special Engineering Detachment at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project.
