Dick Jeppson
Morris 'Dick' Jeppson passed away on Wednesday March 31, 2010 at the age of 87. Dick is the 1st ordnance weaponeer that worked with Parsons to arm the Little Boy atomic bomb. Dick assisted the loading of the explosive charges and then inserted the red arming plugs in the bomb. Mr. Jeppson was a great supporter of our efforts at Wendover and will be greatly missed. He is shown here in front of the Enola Gay hangar just after our announcement for the nomination for the '11 Most Endangered Buildings' list for the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
