Contractual downwinder? At least you got one of those cool dosimeters out of it!

An unfunny incident happened in the L.A. basin in 1958 when I was just a year old. They popped off one of those nuke weapons and the fallout swirled back into the L.A. basin instead of heading east and sat there for two weeks under one of our infamous inversion layers. Oldest brother had his thyroid removed and my older sister died from ovarian cancer. Is there a connection? Who knows? Thanks DOE...
