Wodke, Jim UT2    Navy Seabee for 4 years, Kwaj 1953-54, motercyclebum@charter.net.  I was on Kwaj in public works working at the power plant. I was there when they were doing the bomb testing and we got the fall out allot of the people died in there 1950's of cancer.  I'm one of the lucky ones now at age 70 (2004).  I would like to hear from some people who were there then.  I have several issues of the Kwajalein Post 1954.  I live in Reno, Nevada.  Thank you, Jim
