We had learned to keep our lips buttoned. Our wives and girlfriends didn’t know what we were doing. It was highly confidential and people who got out of the air force, been in radar for years, learned not to say anything about it. And you could be working beside somebody, as I was in a manufacturing plant, and I didn’t know that he was in radar. The ones that I knew were in radar were my old buddies, the radio hams who all joined up when I did. But these folks, they had been decorated. They’d done tremendous work in the service, but they learned to keep their mouths shut.
