Blasto AKA Blastomycosis
Following are several notes, Newspaper articles and other information on Emmett and his courageous fight.

They were all in the .pdf format, they were not showing well on some computers, so I redid them as web pages.  If you want the pdf version, please e-mail me and i will send to you what you want.  so they can be printed out and passed around.

There is information on the disease that effected Emmett, as well as several interviews and other related information

Please pass this information on to others that are "in the wild" or in the woods, so they can be forewarned - a little knowledge is very valuable.

Read, note things and above all, Live, Love, Laugh with all those that are around you!!

Take care God Bless - G-pa John

There is a LOT of information "on the web" about Blasto. 

One can "Goggle" for "blasto lungs" and get a LOT of reading.
 
Realizing that just because it's on the web, it may not ALL be factual. 

So read, digest, re-read and make wise decisions. 

Again, Live, Laugh and Love all those that around you !!

AND Hug everyone as if you mean it all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God Bless
