[Magdalen] Asian?

[Jon Egger]

The disease of sarcoidosis affects mostly African American women,
Scandinavians, and the Japanese. I (as usual) am the oddball.)  It is,
however, familial.  My father's dad probably had it (died young of
pneumonia, worked in the mines), I have a fraternal cousin with it, and I
have it. I do tell my kids to watch out for their kidneys, arteries, hearts
and lungs.

In nursing school a hundred years ago, we were taught that, regarding
Asians, the further south you go, the darker their skin.

Grace and peace,
brud
