Hi,

2008
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year


I wish you Peace, Joy, Prosperity and Good Health always.




I apologize for the absence of postings but I've been "distracted". Let me explain and you may understand...

Marty Hamilton, a guy I know from college and the old neighborhood, has been very ill with Alzheimers and seems to go in and out of being lucid pretty easily. Darla Jean, his wife originally from North Carolina takes very good care of him... medicines, appointments, telling of memories, and just plain ol' care of him.

After Marty retired from his employer after 38 years, he spent time futzing around trying to come up with a new product that would "WOW" the industry and make him enormously rich... not that were in need... just that he wanted his name associated with a product rather that a corporate name.

He failed repeatedly. Some of his proposals and ideas never made it beyond Alpha level discussions. He and Darla Jean traveled, visited friends and had time for children and grandchildren.

Just before the signs of Alzheimers became obvious he was working an a liquid that made pool water smell better... less "chlorinee" (that's how he explained it to me... who'da guessed.)It was rejected outright. But when his daughter was visiting in the summer of '07, in one of his more lucid moments, he explained the product to her and poured a few ounces in to his in-ground pool.

Nothing spectacular happened but after a few minuted, all of a sudden the water around granddaughter, Denice, turned RED. She started screaming and they got her out of the pool. She wasn't hurt at all, there were no signs that the red was blood, and she was just super scared. The only sign of what had happened was that her skin was a rosy pink from has shoulder down to her knees.

Her brother in the pool wasn't effected and he continued to swim until his Mom called him out. After an hour there was no red coloring in the water at all.

They didn't take Denice to an emergency room or doctor but she did shower. Over the next four hours the coloring of her skin returned to normal. The only thing that she could remember that was out of the ordinary was that she may have peed in the pool.

The next day Nick, Denice's brother was told to play in the pool. Martin then poured a few more ounces of his concoction into the pool and then told Nick to pee. At first he said he couldn't but after five minutes the water around him turned and he had the experiences that his sister had.

Over the rest of summer Marty tried his experiments annd began to capture the "scientific" details of what was happening. Marty had a product that seemed to have no market value unless you wanted to grossly embarras someone in a pool.

Early this year Darla Jean contacted me and asked if I could help. I know nothing, really, about chemistry and have only minor experiences in a marketing start-up company.

Since then I've helped Darla Jean protect Marty's discovery though everyone thinks the product is "funny". Everyone seems to want a piece of the action but doesn't want to invest too much time and effort. After Darla Jean contacted another retiree from the same company Marty was at and he has some action rolling.

Because of FDA, etc., hear he has primarily worked with company's in the far east that don't have the same restraints that exist in the U.S.

Evidently the company in China is not interested in turning pee-water red but to use the concept as a way of delivering medicines on a mass basis. Darla Jean talks with me every two weeks or so and just wants to talk about what's going on. I don't have answers but I like talking with her.

BTW, last summer I snuck (sneaked) some of Marty's liquid into a local community pool and was absolutely amazed by how many people pee in the pool. I did not reveal my role to the EMT or police or to any the parents... you might guess why.


TTFN,
