Doug worked with asbestos covered pipes for a number of years in the Navy
and then in the Merchant Marines. He was always concerned about getting
cancer and even bought his trawler to minimize cancer risk. He drops off the
usenet abruptly, with no explanation and then they are talking about a
regular asa'er having cancer who lives in the same area as Doug. I hope the
suspicions and rumors are wrong and that Doug has won the lottery and is in
Brasilia.
