Alfred Lee Loomis was a brilliant and modest man. He graduated from law school, was a lawyer, then a business man, then a great physicist. Franklin Roosevelt said he could not have won the war without Winston Churchill and Alfred Lee Loomis. Loomis knew what he wanted and went for it. Tuxedo Park, an exclusive neighborhood in New York was his home for many years. The author Jenner Conant was a friend of the Loomis family. This is a great story about a great man.
