Subject: RE: BS: Hiroshima 60th Anniversary
I'm glad you're here, too, art. Many of the children who were born after Hiroshima and Nagasaki were stillborn, including my older brother. Many of my friends that were born in '47 were actually the second child. The first child was often stillborn. My father was also in the Pacific. I've always wondered how far that radiation might have drifted.

I've tried to find the exact number of miscarriages following the bomb but have been unable to find exact statistics.
