I remember seeing the ash thinking it was snow. I was 5 at the time. My sister and a cousin passed from leukemia in 1960.
I have two sons with rare diseases. One acc cancer and the other dermatmyositis. I have always wondered if there was a connection to my being exposed to fallout from those test.
