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’ll chart the Rosman site’s proud history and tell how its employees helped to win the space race, the Cold Wat, and are now embarked on a critically important new mission: science education.  The program is based on his recently published book “PARI: An Untold History of Spacemen and Spies,”  All author profits are being donated to further PARI’s science education programs.

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.
