Talk at Bradbury Science Museum on Los Alamos' early years is tonight

Rosen, the son of Laboratory Fellow Louis Rosen, will talk about his experiences at 7 this evening at the Laboratory's Bradbury Science Museum downtown. The event is free and open to the public. The museum is part of the Community Relations (CRO) Office.

"The Atomic City: A Firsthand Account by a Son of Los Alamos," takes a look at growing up in Los Alamos in the years between 1944 and 1964. After the talk, Rosen will sign copies of his book at the Otowi Station Bookstore next door to the museum.

Terry Rosen was born in State College, Pa., while his father was earning his doctoral degree in physics at Penn State University. He arrived at Project Y — Los Alamos — in 1944, at the age of four months, and it was his home until 1964.

Terry Rosen has a bachelor's degree from Colorado College, in Colorado Springs, Colo. He taught high school social studies in southern Colorado for two years before going to law school where he earned his juris doctor from the University of Denver College of Law in 1971.

He worked for former Denver Mayor Richard Lamm for three years and served as Lamm's ombudsman. In addition, he established the Denver Mayor's Office of Citizen Response, running the office from 1975 to 1983. In 1981 he was chosen as Municipal Employee of the Year for the Denver Region by the Denver Federal Executive Board.

In 2000, the International Library of Photography proclaimed one of Terry Rosen's photographs, "Winter's Solace," one of the best of the 20th century.

The Bradbury Science Museum is located at 15th Street and Central Avenue in Los Alamos. Museum hours, apart from special events, are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
