    This commemorative series highlights the stories of the Blue Grass Chemical Activity workforce with personal accounts, reflections, and experiences with the sunsetting organization and its contribution to destroying the chemical weapons stockpile. This article turns back time to nearly the beginning of the organization with retired Colonel Mark Weitekamp, the second BGCA commander in history. His perspective highlights BGCA's infancy and the beginning of chemical demilitarization in Kentucky.
