Is the Southern expulsion due to Montezuma's revenge when you were South of the border?

Yes Fred.  Since 8 of 10 of us was affected I suspect it was a restaurant in San Jose where we picked up some bug.  The 2 of us that were not affected with the "Hershey Squirts" did not go to the restaurant.  The hotel has purified water and the purity is strictly controlled.  While I don't drink water out of the tap, I do have ice and fresh salads that have been washed in the hotel water.  I have dodged the brown bullet for 22 years.  It'll pass.  Dominick

About 35 years ago — we had a Rotary Event out on the river at Coombs Ranch.  Nice August Saturday evening, Rib-eye steak dinner, dancing, etc..

The next day, my wife got really sick, I got sick later that day. 

I started checking with other members as I was writing our weekly newsletter on Monday morning.  Everyone who attended the dinner, and had the steak, instead of the chicken — got very ill.  Around 80 folks.

Turns out, the guy who picked up the cases of Rib-eyes decided it was OK to leave them in his garage for 24 hours before bringing them out to the event.  Unrefrigerated.  Guess he thought they would hold their cold in Fresno, in the middle of August — without any refrigeration. 

Funny thing was, it was one of the most tender and tasty steaks I ever had.

Illness lasted 2 or 3 days —

Hope you feel better soon, Dominick.

Best Always,

Fred
