You are absolutely right Bill. Now that I'm almost 55

Ok Terry I am almost 65 so I'll act as your trail blazer. (I wonder who is the
hi mileage fleet leader in the group?) If I find any potholes or crevasses along
the way I'll just holler and you can steer clear! (^:

Seriously that was damned good info and I have given a heads up to my brothers

and trying to track
down (via test after test) the source of an irritating chest pain I'm
tending to pay more attention to topics of medical interest, especially as
they relate to my own symptoms and conditions. Even though I don't yet have
iron overload I am concerned about it after the discussion on the Celtic
internet sites back in 1998. Thanks for bringing this subject to our
attention, hopefully more of us will get tested for it.

interesting. (^:
