Hi, my name is DLG, I grew up as a child and later as a adult, and raised my kids in Stevens County. Also family history started in Marcus and Aladdin, Washington before the turn of the century. We did allot of swimming, boating, and my boys all attended school next to the Coumbia River of which they (C R C A) get there water from wells that is linked to the Columbia. Anyways, I've had crohns diease now for 21 years as of next month. It has nearly killed me several times, and have had 19" of intestines removed in 1st operation and 6" this last time, 3 years ago. I have spent more time in and out of hospitals, and testing, I can't count no more, and have had 37 operations all together, and still are experiencing more medical problems. Is there any class actions at this time, or is the Government just making this known to the public. Or is there more that can be done for those who have lived in the area for help? Thank You for the update! DLG
