Nobody loves Oak Ridge more than Joe Lenhard. He’s an Oak Ridge icon. The 86-year-old health physicist was the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge research chief back in the day. He retired from federal service in 1989, but he’s never stopped preaching his love of science and all things Oak Ridge. In “retirement,” Lenhard has been a force behind economic development efforts in Oak Ridge, and he was on hand Monday at the start of demolition at the old K-27 uranium-enrichment facility. The site will eventually become part of a private industrial park. (KNS/Munger photo)
