Bernie,
I believe I have written you in the past regarding our personal experience with
Ewings. My son, diagnosed at age 18 in year 2000 was one among a group of 5 in
our area that were diagnosed around the same time. We live in a suburb of
Detroit, called Bloomfield Hills.  If there is any information that I can offer
to help with your investigation, I would be happy to provide it. This is a noble
effort on your part and I can say personally, it will mean alot to end some of
the mystery surrounding this disease. Fortuneately, our son is a survivor, but
the experience will never escape us.

Friends:

This program ran on TV a few minutes ago:

The statistical analysis (average, standard deviation) of the
Masachusetts Department of Public Heath and Air Force data on the PAVE
PAWS was in error. The nature of the error is that average values are
under-reported and standard deviation values are unstable and, for most
practical purposes, useless.

Anyone who is aware of unusual patterns of cases of Ewing's is asked to
report them here. I am preparing a request of out congressional
reperesentative for federal funding of an independent, dilligent,
multidisciplinary study of the Ewing's sarcoma cluster on Cape Cod. I
have some moral support from epidemiologists at a local university.
Senators in two other communities have funding for university
investigations of cancer clusters among their constituents. With no
known risk factors for this disease, and these peculiar patterns showing
up, an investigation seems like a no-brainer.
