http://www.downwinders.org has oodles of info, & there
is a discussion list that could be used to contact
other downwinders and/or exchange information.  To
subscribe to the downwinders list send a message to
downwinders-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Mary Shomon's "About.Com" Thyroid site is another
excellent resource.  I typed "downwinders" & later
"Hanford" into the little search bar on the top right
side of the page & found lots of information about
both.  The Thyroid site also has access to discussion
boards where you may be able to contact others.  To
see Mary Shomon's Thyroid site go to
http://www.thyroid.about.com/

Good luck! 

Steve (born in Colfax, Washington, also in 1949:
lived in Albion, Washington, until 1957).

There's a fair amount of downwinder material on the Waging Peace webpage:
www.wagingpeace.org

You can go to that page and then use the search feature to search on "downwinders."  Much of the material there was posted by Trisha Pritikin, a downwinder herself.

My partner, Frank Miller, was on a mailing list for people who may have had cancers directly related to living close to the Hanford facility during the 1960s.  He moved down to the beach a year ago and has not received the newsletter -- he doesn't remember the exact name of the organization -- is it connected with yours or is it a separate group??   We'd sure like to get him back in touch with them to keep up on any progress with medical information ( like many victims, he's had thyroid cancer, and now prostate too).
 
Please let us know how to contact this group --- thanks.
