Paul, I've lost a couple of names.

There was a Ruby, one's of Stephenson's assistants, who met Linda and family in San Francisco upon their return from Hawaii. Linda has said that it was also she who accompanied Townsend to the States after his release from the hospital in England. I believe her first name was Evelyn. Was the last name McBurnett, or McBarnett, or someone else entirely?
I also recall seeing a photo of a gentleman Townsend and Jo, that seems to have been taken on the banks of the Potomoc during the time they were divorced. Do you recall the name? For some reason, I think he was identified as George Gamow, which I found surprising. What would the man known for DNA/RNA discoveries have in common with Radar guy?
If he was, indeed Gamow, then perhaps Wiki has provided a clue:

During World War II, Gamow did not work directly on the Manhattan Project producing the atomic bomb, in spite of his knowledge of radioactivity and nuclear fusion. He continued to teach physics at George Washington University and consulted for the US Navy.
