The new Gadgets Muesum Shop was made possible through the generous support of Kent, left, and Roger Waterman, in memory of their parent’s Robert and Alice Waterman. The Watermans moved to Los Alamos in 1947 when Robert was hired by the Atomic Energy Commission as a security guard. The couple became an integral part of the community and launched a business that moved, managed and built many area properties, including the Bradbury Science Museum. The brothers pose Thursday with a plaque honoring their parents inside Gadgets. Photo by Bonnie J. Gordon/ladailypost.com
