[List] Asbestos Fwd: Letter to Former Employees

[Cecil Stokes]

Fellow Huntsville Division Alumni,


I've been contacted by Kera Haugen, Investigator for VanNorman 
Investigations, to help with a claim by the surviving family of "Lep" 
Wenzler, who had TC#2615 in Section 472 in 1960. The claim involves 
exposure to asbestos and I thought I might help since I was involved in 
our use of asbestos-phenolic for nozzle components and 
asbestos-polyisoprene for case insulation; but, neither is of current 
interest to them. If you have knowledge of Thiokol's other applications 
of asbestos you should make note of the attached email.


Cec

Hi Cecil.  Here is a write-up if you would be so kind as to put it out 
there for the people from Thiokol.  I appreciate your assistance.

Leopold Wenzler was a former employee of Thiokol in Hunstville.  He 
passed away from Mesothelioma.  Mesothelioma is cancer that is caused by 
the exposure to asbestos.

There are several companies that supplied their products to Thiokol that 
contained asbestos. There were no health warnings on these products 
about the dangers of asbestos.

Mr. Wenzel previously had a lawsuit against some of the manufacturers 
these products.  That lawsuit has concluded.  There are now a few 
companies left that are in bankruptcy.  Before filing for bankruptcy, 
the court required them to set aside fund in a trust account for 
families who lost loved ones because of the exposure to their deadly 
products.

Mr. Wenzler's family and their law firm are looking for someone  with 
knowledge of  asbestos containing products that were used at Thiokol.  
If you have any information, please call or text Kera at 507-822-2055 or 
email at Kera at vnlis.com. Thank you on behalf of the Wenzler family.
