Mesothelioma is almost exclusively caused by exposure to asbestos and can take decades to develop following initial exposure.  Asbestos was used in a variety of commercial applications and many mesothelioma patients worked in mining, processing, installing, repairing or removing asbestos containing materials.  In some cases family members were exposed after their loved ones brought loose fibers home from their work outfits.  My Mother worked at the Norfolk Naval Base from 1941 to 1945, and was exposed to asbestos during this time. 

My goal is to locate anyone that worked at the Norfolk Naval Base between 1941 and 1944.

I Would Appreciate Your Help

Mesothelioma.   Resulting in death.   Most likely contact was made forty to fifty years ago, and a very likely place would have been the Norfolk Naval Base.

If you are aware of anyone who worked at the base, 1941 to 1945, and is still alive, I would like to hear from them. I can be reached at WilliamL0828@gmail.com, or at (202) 362-3799.

My Mother worked at the base, which is where we believe she was exposed to asbestos and she passed away July 2, 2008. At one time, she worked in Building V-28, which was a restricted area, and later worked in various other sections of the base.

Thank you.
