Hi Edith,, I had two right ear operations - mastoidectomy -. I also spent a few days painting an acoustic ceiling, I placed plastic sheets around the perimeters of the room, and would get inside. The acoustic ceilings were supposed to have been made with asbestos, that is how, according to my wife, I contracted PD. I also spent 18 months travelling from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon, flying every weekend. I hear that Oregon is supposed to have a large percentage of PWP.s I think this is a wonderful project. I am offering my help if you need to put the information into spreadsheets, summarize it, etc. I am a software developer. So, let me know if you need any help. We can come up with all kinds of good data, statistics. Age, age when contracted, place of birth, occupation. God, this is great stuff. thanks, Mario ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edith S.
