Hi all,
we have a new member who is writing a novel with historical reference to workers in a white lead paint factory, and I wrote the following email to the author and then realized you may all be interested in my email and the associated library articles.
Dear yogerbo17@...
Please feel free to write and tell me your actual name in case it is not Yoger Bo - I had to put something into the Yahoo form when I added you to the LeadWorkers egroup.
Good luck with your novel!
Please don't hesitate to send queries to either egroup but especially to LeadWorkers egroup.
You will find that one LPAE member has written a whole website - http://www.bellsystemleadpoisoning.com/ - case history of his father who was lead poisoned through soldering, and one member of LeadWorkers is the lead poisoned painter son of a lead poisoned painter.
