Kehoe, M.D. Professor Emeritus of Occupational Medicine University of Cincinnati The Kettering Laboratory College of Medicine--Eden Avenue Cincinnati, Ohio 45219 Dear Doctor Kehoe: Thank you very much for the publications you sent me. I am most certainly interested in all of them, and have started to read and study them in detail. As well, I would like to extend my appreciation for the excellent job you did in presenting such a vast amount of data in such limited time at the AIHA Chicago course. As we discussed, one of my interests has been in using human hair as a bio-assay medium for determination of occupational lead ex posures. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to "sell" successfully this idea to our laboratory people. Very recently, however, Kopito, et al, published an/articre on this methodology. It is entitled, "Lead in Hair of Children with phronic Lead Poisoning," and it appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, 276:949, 127 April, 1967). I am sure it will be of interest to you. f It was a definite pleasure to meet you and have been your student (briefly). Dr. Christine Einert, who sends you her regards, tells me that you may be wintering in the Bay Area. In that case,~l look forward to seeing you in our "remarkable" state. Sincerely, Thomas H.
