We had a film crew at the plant today working on an episode of the History Channel's Lost Worlds series. I had the opportunity to be an escort for these folks and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They found a very entertaining Hanford retiree to be their on-screen subject matter expert, and it was great fun listening to him talk about the old days. He signed on in, I believe, 1947, so he saw the plant as an operating chemical separation facility. Interestingly, the on-screen host is an American History professor at Yale, where our retiree received his wartime commission. The remainder of the crew were all brits and interesting too, although I didn't get much time for conversation. The episode should air sometime in the late summer or early fall. I'm looking forward to it.
