An interview with Feldma, who worked on the Manhattan project

Rockford Register Star: When Arnold Feldman graduated with a bachelor's degree in physics from Penn State University in January 1944, he was ready for violence.

"I was all hot to join the Army and kill Hitler personally," the 84-year-old Peoria resident said. "My professor said, 'No you don't. There's something more important.' That was a bit of an exaggeration. My contribution to the bomb project was not very much."
