RE: OOPS(radiography overexposure)

I may be a little late on this subject (out of the office) but for those who may be researching overexposure cases may have interest in my great-grandfather. He routinely carried a small sample of radium in his pocket (probably vest pocket). It would have been one of the little hexagonal tubes in leather case that has been mentioned here previously. My mom said he liked to show people this stuff that glowed. He did receive radiation burn(s). A skin graft from his brother was attempted. Radiation therapy may have been used (family legend is Madam Curie prescribed it). Needless to say this all took place many years ago (1910-1920 time frame). A number of years ago our family was contacted by a researcher who wanted to exhume the body to study the effect the radiation. I never found out if the research was done or what the results were. For those who are interested and may have access to such research, my great-grandfather is James C. Gray. He was buried in the Pittsburgh area.
