By: Nancy Cook Steeper

In March 1943 Dorothy Scarritt McKibbin took a position that catapulted her into the center of the Manhattan Project. Her office, 109 East Palace Avenue in Santa Fe, was the entry point for all scientists, technicians, and their families who came to Los Alamos. Dorothy, a rare combination of gentility and fire, was a powerful civilizing force for those individuals. She was their one contact with the world beyond the “the Hill,” a world that did not know of their existence.
