Lab Workers In 1962 Presidential Visit Photos Stump Author

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) — Author John Bisney is trying to unravel a mystery as he writes a book about former President John F. Kennedy and his role in America's space program. The Los Alamos Monitor reports (http://bit.ly/2e0RHji) the former CNN correspondent is combing through old photographs of Kennedy's visit to Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1962 and wants to identify workers in the photos. Bisney said he's come up against dead ends so far, including at the Los Alamos Historical Society. People can see the photos at lamonitor.com and send tips to lanews@lamonitor.com. "The Space Age Presidency of John Kennedy" is expected to be released in spring 2018. It is the latest collaboration between Bisney and space photo archivist J.L. Pickering. The two have made several photo books on the American space program.
