Hurrah for the efforts you congressman and women are making in behalf of the victims of nuclear testing, education and other benefits. Thank you.My father Alden Roberts was a victim of the nuclear testing back in the 50's, but has not received any benefits from the funds allocated. Would you please give me the phone # where I can pursue this problem? My phone # is 801-966-7643.Thanks again. Howard Roberts

I lived in St George when the testing took place with my family. My father had skin cancer and had treetments the rest of his life. My sisters and I all have thyroid problems and have taken medication
since our high school years.What if anything can we do now, I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on test and drugs?

Where would George W Bush or Barrack Obama be without their Grandparents?

Is it enough to say that there is no doubt history would be different had the two above families been my Grandparents and my families neighbors in St George and southern Utah back in the 50's

I never saw my Grandfather stand and walk he was already wheelchair bound after a stroke paralyzed him before I was born in 1957. He was in charge of disposing of all the ash that fell on the Temple there in St George. I never heard him speak only mumble in a groaning voice. It was a voice that only Grandma knew, cancer took him in 65, and Grandma went four years later.
I lived in Hatch Utah, Garfield County in 61 and 62; I went to Panguich for my kindergarten year and Graduated Virgin Valley High school in Mesquite NV in 1975.

My Daughter, son and I are the only Barnhursts with the name left out of our whole clan.

I seek only what is due, to be used as refuge for my family, for I am now the grandparent, and a living witness to the whole dastardly act.
