Asbestos leaves legacy of pain
Thomas F Fallon Sr, 75, describes a lifetime exposed to asbestos at Brooklyn Navy Yard and in shipbuilding. He survives mesothelioma after surgery and chemotherapy, part of a wave of victims from U.S. manufacturers. The couple sue Manville Corp and others, seeking fair settlements as a mass trial looms, while he laments lack of warning and lost health, travel limits, and fading dreams.
