The Tooth Fairy has found me!--
The Tooth Fairy Project would like your help with an important scientific study.
In the 1960s, your parents gave one (or more) of your baby teeth to Washington University in St. Louis to study atomic bomb test fallout. Of the 300,000 study teeth from people your age, 85,000 were never used -- including yours!
Each tooth is in a small envelope, attached to a card with your name, birth date, and other helpful information that your parents provided when you were a small boy.
Our research group found your current address in the white pages. You and 4,000 other St. Louis-area male tooth donors your age are receiving this letter. Your answers to the survey below will help us understand if bomb fallout raised risk of cancer.
1. Are you Donald Appleman, born May, 1959, son of Herbert S. Appleman?
-- From a letter recently received by yours truly, from the Tooth Fairy Project
