- >..... starving in Berlin...

- Good posting Fred! It is typical of starving children with inadequate
- protein to have large, protruding stomachs -- but from starvation --
- not from any thin soup that they might have had.
-
- For someone short of everything, a pint of blood has a lot of goodies
- in it -- red cells, iron (in the red cells), protein as albumin, and
- probably other necessities -- we now know that there are more active
- molecules than we ever suspected...
-
- You are also right that genealogy breeds a respect for the past.. for
- those who survived it.
