Mount Weather, Black Mathematicians, and Cycling: A Father’s Day Note

[dbehrend]

Eric Channing Brewer wrote a really cool story about Mount Weather, his family’s connections to the area, and his dad’s involvement in a key moment in US history. That summary doesn’t really do the story justice. It’s definitely worth a read.

I lived as a child in Bluemont for about 3 years until age 7. Great to read about Bluemont and the secretive Mt. Weather installation up there, with the fascinating story of Mr. Brewer’s work. I remember Mt. Weather was a periodic topic of speculation and talk among the adults “in town”; all the more so after that devastating plane crash happened, as it was about 4 miles behind our house.
