Jim Rosenstock works in resource management for the National Park service and was a big local history buff was curious and skeptical about this stone. He got involved with finding out about the marker.
As he dug deeper, it had all the elements of a great mystery: World War II espionage, nationwide panic, a mass electrocution, J. Edgar Hoover chicanery, white supremacists, federal bureaucracy and a U.S. Supreme Court case that played a significant role in America's modern war on terror.
For decades, few people in Washington, or elsewhere, knew of the stone's existence. It wasn't a secret so much as something that just never got out.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
