Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
No, he was a navy recruit in WWII. We do think that the asbestos exposure probably happened during his military service.
That seems likely. I know my grandfather's was caused by his WWII service in the shipyards, so it stands to reason that serving on the ships he was building probably would expose one to asbestos. Sucks.
Grandpa got some kind of a settlement from the government, actually - there may be money available for your step-grandfather's medical bills. I'm afraid I don't know the details, I was pretty young.
Omnis, From your post, I deduct you are taking I-40.
Don't forget to stop and stand on a corner in Winslow, AZ.
Then see the Crater.
I wish we had.
Anybody who wants in tomorrow, email me at sarahbekistan at gmail. Is it okay if we just keep one email string going and people hop on as they are able?
Frankie was growling so I looked up to see two deer standing in the road in front of my house. They turned and ran away. Brave doggie, protecting us from the nasty deers.
Anne, I'm very sorry. May he have longer, and better, than they expect right now.

Yes and no. I'm trying to keep to Historic Route 66 as much as possible. Many parts of it are Interstate 40, and it runs pretty parallel with it. Forgot about the four corners! Crater was on my list. Monday I get a call from the movers to give me an estimate how long it will take for my stuff to arrive. That will determine how many stops I take. I've had to move long distances many times for work, this is the first time I'm taking my time and 'smelling the roses'.
Oh no, stupid body. You won't get ill on me NOW. So what if I've asked more than ever this past few months out of you, and didn't give you the proper rest. Man up!
If you're going through Amarillo consider the Big Texas Steakhouse (??not sure on the name), that's been on King Of the Hill, where if you eat a 72 ounce steak dinner in an hour, it's free! My friends and I didn't even try, but it was entertaining nonetheless. And there's a Big Giant Cross nearby too. But we'd already seen one that morning in Oklahoma, so we didn't stop.

Yeah, there's a strong connection between working in the Navy in that era and asbestos exposure. I mention it because he'd be eligible to file a claim and would certainly get some money for it. It wouldn't come through him but it would benefit your grandmother, and it's a not insignificant chunk of money.
That may not be something they want to do but it could make a difference in her life and since asbestos claims are handled in a formulaic manner he'd really just need an attorney who specialized in asbestos claims to file the original motion.

Ha! OMG. I have trouble eating a 12 ouncer. 72? My gall bladder would form a revolution, riot, and jump out of my torso. But I'll keep an eye out for it.

The quadruple bypass, however, is NOT.
