Please give him a great big hug from all of us and know that I do truly understand a parents fear, anger, and determination that lives in one's soul, and drives a mother and a father to fight like hell and never give up. Your son will, I am sure, inherit his dad's determination. And the rest of us will always be here to help you to fight like hell and never give up. I have a new found respect for that "eye" we spoke of. Through your own "personal lens" you have seen alot...I get it now. Well it’s nice to know that prayers are heard and answered Sconsetmonkey.

Hold the broadcast Anderson, we've got a shocking NEW story. Now that EK is no longer the tails that wags the dog, why should the local establishment still protect the Golden Goose? Because it's too much trouble to weed out the Rolodex favors. Think the lunch-bunch at the Rochester Club are going to snub their old friends? Not a chance.

It only takes one voice to ask the question that others silently share. It's through comparison and analysis that not just cancer patterns are discovered, but other forms of illness and disease that can be and have been proven to be linked to environmental mismanagement of industrial waste and chemicals. I'm very sorry SconsetMonkey - and for your friends child too Angel. Please don't stop talking, and don't ever let anyone silence you from asking the questions you deserve to receive the answers for.

Also, I did not say the words "cancer cluster." A friend of mine just lost a child to a rare form of brain tumor a few months ago. Guess where the dad of the child worked? Kodak.
