Dust up at the Hanford Nuclear Site
My recent visit to the Hanford Site, a decommissioned nuclear production complex near Richland, Wash. ended up being challenging in ways I never expected.
When I first took the assignment from the Washington Post, I presumed that gaining access to would be difficult, but after a few phone calls, I got connected with Geoff Tyree, with U.S. Department of Energy, who was more than helpful in coordinating a visit to the site, where plutonium was once manufactured for use in the first nuclear bomb and in Fat Man, the bomb detonated over Nagasaki, Japan.
Poster Boy
Durandy is passionate.
Andy Golub has amassed the largest collection of Duran Duran posters in the world, which he keeps archived to museum standards in a Bellevue storage facility. Whether you ever were or still are a fan of the English band (I was), you have to admire when a person puts all of himself into doing something the right way. Durandy has been doing it right, collecting rare items from around the world since early 1985 and making them available for admiration by other fans via his Durandy Productions website.
Adorable Baby Lachlan
Baby Lachlan here is the cover-child for May’s Seattle’s Child Magazine. Liz Gillespie, the magazine’s editor asked me to track down a little one for their “New Arrivals” issue and fortunately, I knew a baby with just the right personality.
