Dear Dr. Bennett:
I have just been informed that a person who previously worked at our PVC Resin plant in Ashtabula, Ohio, recently passed away and the diagnosis on the death certificate was "Angiosarcoma." An autopsy has confirmed the cause of death was Angiosarcoma. Based on this information, it would seem that this individual should be added to the World Register of Cases of Angiosarcoma of the Liver.
I will give you the information, as I have it, in the number sequence across the top of the log sheet:
1. Country - U.S.A.
2. The individual's name is Joseph R. Succi.
3. His date of birth was September 8, 1921.
4. The name of the company is GenCorp (formerly The General Tire & Rubber Company).
5. The factory was located at Ashtabula, Ohio.
6. Mr. Succi's first exposure was April 14, 1955.
7. The date of the diagnosis was November 26, 1988.
8. Mr. Succi was age 67 at the time of the diagnosis.
9. He had approximately 33 years of exposure to diagnosis.
10. The plant terminated operations December 31, 1983, making his years of exposure approximately 28 years.

11. The date of death was January 10, 1989.
12. The histological confirmation is in the form of an autopsy.
13. I have no real way of knowing what his estimated exposure level would be.
14. Mr. Succi started as a maintenance labor trainee, and was a janitor laborer for a short period of time. In December of 1956, he became a shift mechanic, and from February 1959, through his retirement date, he worked basically as an electrician in the plant.
15. Other career highlights - Mr. Succi's official retirement date was January 1, 1984.
If any additional confirming information becomes available, I will forward it to you as soon as possible. If I can be of any further help, please let me hear from you.
Sincerely,
RNJ:np
