I'm a TMI baby. The Three Mile Island incident occurred March 1979 and I was born May 1979. My family lived, and I grew up, just outside of York Haven, PA, which is directly across the river from TMI. As the crow flies, minutes away. And growing up, my family would often go boating in the river that runs along TMI.
For years after I was born, my parents would receive periodic phone calls regarding my health, and if I exhibited any bizarre behavior and symptoms. Birth defects were another question. Even within the past 5-10 years I received a questionnaire regarding my health and TMI.
On a positive note, I seem to be normal (I willfully admit that depends on who you ask
), though I do enjoy telling people I glow in the dark.
