 The stack of cards in this photograph represent one year of medical appointments for Emmett downwinder Billy Reynolds. &amp;nbsp;He has mylofibrosis, which his doctor believes could only have been caused by radiation exposure. &amp;nbsp;He lived in Emmett on a farm from 1951-1961, during the bulk of atmospheric nuclear testing to the south. &amp;nbsp;Emmett is located in Gem County, which ranks in the top five counties in the United States for fallout from atmospheric nuclear testing. &quot;It seems like death is just a part of life here in Emmett. &amp;nbsp;My mother lived to be the oldest of her five siblings. &amp;nbsp;She died at 47. &amp;nbsp;Three of her siblings had brain cancer.&quot;&amp;nbsp;  Billy's father and brother have also died of cancer.&amp;nbsp; I first met Billy two years ago. &amp;nbsp;At the time he was receiving regular blood transfusions to stay alive. Today he's on a new experimental medication that's improved his quality of life a great deal. It was dear to see him in Emmett. &amp;nbsp;A copy of  Downwind &amp;nbsp;has been donated to the Emmett library.&amp;nbsp;
