Canfield 827 Junction Avenue Toledo Ohio - Dear Dr. Canfield Recently we were informed by the Industrial Insulation Co. 1506 Erie Street Toledo that a member of the insulating crew - employed by that company had left his trade because of bad health and had sought employment elsewhere The man is Albert Baumgardner of Holland Ohio We understand Mr. Baumgardner was a patient of yours and for that reason we think you may be interested in a further report that has reached us about this case The report may be entirely heresay but we were told that there were statements made that Mr. Baumgardner believed his physical condition was due to his having handled Fiberglas insulation material on several jobs prior to his leaving his trade Naturally we are always anxious to clarify any conceptions and if there were a possibility of health hasard we would be very much concerned Our experience with thousands of employees in daily contact for many years with Fiberglas has demonstrated that there are no 111 effects from such exposure He are wondering to what extent you can help clarify this situation and if you can say whether contact with Fiberglas materials played any part in . Baumgardner's condition condition ~ Very truly yours Public Relations Manager dg 01 022 0587
