Actually it occurred during the annual convention of the American 

Legion at the hotel in Philly.  The source was traced to the hotel 

cooling towers as stated.

Dear Floyd,

Yes, I know that. In fact I was sure that the disease started in Philly 

at the Ben Franklin Hotel at a legionairres convention. Thats why I was 

surprised to see a reference to cooling towers causing the disease. I 

forget which radsafer posted that info last

wek.
