Wild Things People Found Out About Their Loved Ones While Cleaning Out Their Homes

This person’s grandfather kept a huge secret from his family throughout his life: he was one of the people who worked on the Manhattan Project as a master machinist. He worked on one of the world’s most important scientific endeavors alongside brilliant men like J. Robert Oppenheimer.

That seems like a very hard secret to keep for so many years, and we can’t help but wonder why he had to keep it a secret. It seems like after all these years, there’s no harm in his family knowing about this. That seems like such a colossal discovery that the $160,000 they found in his apartment somehow pales in comparison.
