On Sunday the 9^th, we met to discuss ethics and morals in the realm of the Nuclear Arms Conundrum, commemorating Hiroshima-Nagasaki. We watched a documentary, and we listened and discussed. Here is how John McCabe captured our meeting

Dear Doctor Granoff,

It was impressive to be in attendance as you addressed us yesterday on Rittenhouse Street as we commemorated the anniversary day of the bombing of Nagasaki. I am not aware of ever experiencing such a depth of understanding and knowledge of human nuclear idiocy and the short sighted and deadly selfishness of the perpetrators of nuclear weapons and warfare.

I consider every aspect of atomic core weaponry and even reckless nuclear energy as the dumbest and a most dangerous science and no less than the evil-based rape of the atom.

Your presentation was a gripping revelation and an unveiling of the horror we have been subjected to as if we were of no more value than a swarm of mindless and heartless biting insects.

I was exposed to four atomic bombs in Nevada as an infantry soldier. Forgive me and the time I stole yesterday to tell a bit of my nuclear weapons exposure story..

I am attaching some information for your review if you wish. At times I feel narcissistic; so much of my work being about me. It takes motivational powers to tell others what we should not ignore or forget.

Thanks again.

You are a light in a dim world order.

Just underscoring John’s opinions. Let’s collaborate worldwide to undo this evil insanity.

When I look back at the long trajectory of the United Nations Association of Greater Philadelphia (UNA-GP), I am reminded that institutions—much like the people who sustain them—have lifecycles. They surge with energy, they pause, they reawaken, and they evolve. Our chapter, now more than fifty years old, embodies that rhythm. And as we begin this new chapter of communication with our community, I want to offer a reflection on where we came from, why we are here today, and what it means for all of us who carry the mission forward.
