I was there 69-71 I went back to see what it looked like. The area where base housing was had been all torn down the streets are still there, and that area has a ten-foot fence around it. That area was contaminated with flame retardant back before the base was built. Kind of a bad deal my wife eventually died from it. The real kicker is that the law firm is going to keep a big portion of with they collect and as a survivor we have to pay taxes on the whole amount. So, if they settle for $100,000 in damages on class action, they keep say 50% and we pay tax on the total at our top tax rate 20-34% depending on our income level before adding $100,000 to it. That nets 16 to 30 K. Law firms are the only ones making out on this deal.

Money is never going to make this right. The medical bills were paid a long time ago. She has been dead close to twenty years. The kids were grown up before she died. The grand kids never met her. We all moved on long ago I am not sure why we are picking scabs off old wounds now.
