special note July 2020
\nShortly I will be sending some episodes on the summer of1960 that might help to make the Irish episodes fit better. The language may be a little rough at times because working at the bottom of an abandoned Elliott Lake uranium mine was rough and dangerous as were the men I worked with. Amusing. Informative. True.
\nOriginally I had planned an Episode dealing with mining Cages\u2026and lack of cages as in Knockmahon. That story will come as well.
\nThe surprising note I received from Dan Dwan whose family still lives in Knockmahon and who knows the men who were part of my 1960 team has kindled my imagination. You will find the stories interesting as well I hope.
\nWe are still in lockdown..isolation due to Covid 19 so my captive audience\u2026you\u2026may need the relief of the stories Things could be worse. You could be down 2,000 feet in a uranium mine where the count was 292 \u2026high radiation. Or, as my assistant Harry expressed it\u2026.\u201dWhat the fuck are we doing down here?\u201d
