Scottsdale resident Milton Heuston has seen a few things over the years.
From the birth of jet airplanes to the launch of the first communications satellite and the dawn of the atomic age, he saw it all. In fact, Heuston, who turned 100 years old recently, had a hand in that last one.
Heuston was in college during World War II when he joined the U.S. Army Air Corps when he was 18. He carried with him a letter of recommendation from one of his professors from Pomona College, so he was assigned to the top secret Manhattan Project to build an atomic bomb.
