Trimper Family, poisoned by Terminix with Dursban, Speaks to EPA

From what we are being told by a contact close to family, it is an eerie 4 minutes or so of watching people who look terribly sick, stare into the camera and tell of their plight. Paraphrasing, Bruce urged the EPA to wake up and get it together, then closing with a reference to the blood on the hands of the people in the industry.

Dear Lyndon, I just received an e-mail from Envirwtch@aol.com that noted:

Today (3/20/00) in Washington "industry" chins will be hitting the floor! We have been told that the Trimpers will address (via video tape) the EPA inert disclosure panel. Caroline Cox had apparently asked the EPA for an extended comment period for the Trimpers to appear in person but our government could not oblige!

From what we are being told by a contact close to family, it is an eerie 4 minutes or so of watching people who look terribly sick, stare into the camera and tell of their plight. Paraphrasing, Bruce urged the EPA to wake up and get it together, then closing with a reference to the blood on the hands of the people in the industry. It gave me the chills just hearing about it. Wonder if the transcript will become part of public record so those not attending could have access?

About a year ago I met Bruce Trimper. In my 11 years in the industry and 41 walking this planet, I don't ever remember meeting someone with quite a presence. He outwardly appears to be a quiet, reserved type guy, but in action he takes no bunk from nobody. Lawyers, government officials, etc. - Steve I mean nobody! If these people could be lassoed, they'd make the perfect poster children. An articulate pit bull in a designer suit!

Spread the word! If this is not transcribed the other exposure victims will never know of this tape.

Well Lyndon, when I get a copy of Mr. Bruce Timper's words regarding your unregistered "inerts" - I will let you know!

Respectfully, Stephen L. Tvedten
