Jeff Bezos and the Manhattan Project
Both of Jeff Bezos' biological grandfathers worked at Sandia National Laboratories. His mom's dad was named Lawrence Preston Gesey, who ran the US nuclear weapons program. The marriage doesn't last though and when Jeff is about 18 months old, they end up getting divorced. When Jeff is four, Jackie remarries and moves in with her new husband, who is a petroleum engineer for Exxon.
