I then asked if he was familiar with the Harvard opinion letter on Agent Orange. He was well versed on it.

I then asked him about the different choices on the NEXUS form and which one would be appropriate for my situation. He thought briefly, then checked off the greater than 50/50 option saying that it best suited my condition. The appointment took well over an hour.
Interesting about his knowledge of the Harvard letter. My late husband also served '68-'69.
