    When I joined CCGG I thought the polycythemia vera people would be interested in what I had to say,as a former employee of McAdoo Associates whose first TIA could have been caused by blood thickened somehow by exposure to what we had at the site. But even after I e-mailed my name and number to the people involved directly with the cancer cluster I was not contacted. I could give them names of other people who worked there too who could be contacted for information they may remember. One fellow is very prominent in the community and has been for years.
