[NukeNet] Colonie NY Forum on NL Industries DU Contamination

[Wild Clearing]

Dear Jeannine --

Your welcome!

Actually, I'm heading to Albany from Chattanooga, TN, to be there for  
the gathering, and to do some filming for a documentary on DU  
contamination we're produciing, staying at a nearby Econlodge. I've  
been working with Tom Ellis, one of the CCNL members who I met at the  
recent ICBUW conference in NYC, along with David Carpenter, the  
public health MD there.

I've been posting rough video clips from some filming thus far and  
likely will do something from  Albany as well. The rough clips can be  
viewed at:

Anne Rabe is listed as the group's contact for the press conference  
and gathering at Sand Creek School and her email, below, is   
annerabe at msn. com

Best,

Wes Rehberg
