Noontime Notions – PARI: an untold story of spacemen and spies

Author Craig Gralley will reveal the secret past of PARI – a facility whose very existance was denied for decades by the U.S. government.

He’s now a freelance writer and author of “Hall of Mirrors—Virginia Hall: America’s Greatest Spy of WWII,a Kirkus Reviews “Best Book.” His work has appeared in The Washington Post, World War II Magazine, Elan and The Sun among others.
