Allan: I think there have been many events that caused high numbers of deaths in certain areas. I'm not sure we have enough information to say exactly what the culpert was.

A classmate of mine from high school, was involved in farming most of his life. He used a lot of chemicals over the years as I did myself. About 1980 he developed cancer, doctors thought they beat it several times. It kept reoccuring, until it finally took him down in the mid 90s. Shortly before his death he confided to me, that he always blamed a specific chemical, that he had used and handled only once. I have forgotten the name of the chemical, so I'm not going to try and guess. It was a chemical I had never used. He claimed he knew within hours of using that chemical, he was in deep trouble. This is just the feelings of a very down to earth friend.

I lost a brother to Lou Gehrigs disease, have a cousin with a brain tumor (cant operate), both born in 1954. When these people were in their senior year at high school, my wife was one of their teachers. She tells me that in her years as a teacher, she has never seen a class loose so many members as those born in 1954, at that high school. Was this something they were exposed to in the womb, as infants, in high school lab, etc. Who will ever know for sure? And who really knows what our governments are playing with and when?
