I would be happy to check into that this Friday if no one has a quick answer. I seem to remember as a child that "TB" was one of those whispered words akin to "the big C" that no one spoke about. (Especially amongst the Irish community. I'm talking the late 50's into the 60's) I can't imagine what it was like before then. I reserve Fridays for genealogy. I work 10 hour days Monday through Thursday to have that privilege. If anyone needs anything from Boston please let me know. I'm ready, willing and able to help. Lots of you have helped me. I'm grateful.
