What if Dan Hirsch had been just like the rest of us? Scary, huh?

These were full grown, from the original groves. So they didn't move the dirt. Within 5 years of moving there, I remember them tearing away the mountain for houses and Hillside Junior High School, which I went to. I imagine all that dirt went somewhere, probably to finish the 118 on the other side of the valley. Neither my brother or I could have children and had to adopt, my sister's 1st child died at 4 mths of SIDS, my father is having serious issues that I believe is caused by this and I have Fibromayalgia. If I knew what they were testing for it might help my dad. Who is responsible the DOE, NASA, Boeing, the federal state or local governments. I read your article four days ago and was completing shocked to find out the supposed rocket testing site, (where I could see the fire on the mountain, feel the shaking and couldn't hear anything), was an experimental nuclear reactor without a dome. I am leaving my phone number 760.[redacted by editor]. All of us have our class pictures from school, people must be notified, most people left and are all over the country now. I would guess that at least 30-40% of houses built in Simi were built between 1960 and 1964. I don't believe they removed the dirt prior to 1964. My address was [redacted by editor] Daunet Avenue, which is within 1 mile of the old Runkle ranch. Is the EPA's report that is due Spetember 2011, a report on testing or is a report explaining what they want to test? What are they going to test for? What options do we have - rely on a broken healthcare system and government institutions that move at a snails pace hoping we will all die?
