For a period of 2-3 weeks I was in an enclosed area cutting pieces of insulation without any protection. At the end of the day I would have asbestos in my hair and on the top of my eyebrows. Nobody knew in those days. My father worked in that trade for over 35 years and died at the age of 74. He was a non-smoker and never came down with the cancer. Almost all of his co-workers that smoked died in their 50's and 60's. I am now going on 69 years of age and was diagnosed with asbestosis three years ago when I came down with pneumonia. I did notice some shortness of breath as I go older; but just considered it "old age" or overweight. I never smoked cigarettes; but did puff on cigars for some time. So far so good, I will being seeing my lung guy the first of the year. When I saw him two years ago he stated I had 60% lung capacity. Point of interest. My mother lived to be 95, was a smoker for over 50 years, and washed a ton of asbestos covered clothing. I worked in the pipe covering and insulating trade for two summers in 1957 and 1958.
