John B. Brady

Machinist Hanford, WA

Manhattan Project Veteran

John Brady served as a Machinist at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation from 1943 to 1960. He was proud of the work he did at Hanford, though it was always a mystery to his children because Brady wouldn't talk about his job. Brady continued to work on nuclear materials as a civilian, until his death in 1960.
