In all probability she's the wife a rocket scientist that bought a house next to the UP's branch to Henderson, NV back around 1989 or so. This was the headline or thereabouts "Rocket scientist didn't know they ran trains on the tracks." He was appalled that they actually ran trains on the tracks and made such a stink that the newspaper ran a half-page article about it. I'll bet he worked for Pepcon just down the road from him. They made perchlorate, a rocket fuel. The plant blew up and killed several people and blew out windows miles away. I heard the explosion 20 miles away in downtown LV where I worked. I thought it was a sonic boom -- but it was Pepcon! Rocket scientists! Getting hit by a train while taking closups! The two just have to be related!
