Redstone's Secret Soldier Scientists

The men of the 9330th Technical Service Unit, who came to Huntsville in the early '50's to support Wehrner von Braun's team of rocket scientists, held a reunion this weekend, as an exhibit was dedicated in their honor at the Veterans Memorial Museum in John Hunt Park.

Here's an interesting tidbit: during their stint in Huntsville, "they hung out at a saloon known as the Chicken Shack and at a honky-tonk in Cedar Gap, in eastern Madison County, where moonshine was sold."

Wonder if that's the same Chicken Shack that's still here today, because as the locals would tell you - if there's one place you wouldn't expect to find a rocket scientist...that'd be it.
