A Trust Betrayed
“We didn’t think anything of it back then, you know, it was just part of life.
—JOAN LEWIS, WIFE OF MARINE STATIONED AT CAMP LEJEUNE Something was terribly wrong with the babies at Camp Lejeune. When it began isn’t clear, but evidence suggests it was in the 1960s or earlier, a decade or two after the base opened in 1941. Few realized what was happening, and among those who did, it seems certain that at the time no one understood it.
One of the first to see the frightening effect without knowing ...the apparent cause was Sally McLaughlin, who had married her childhood sweetheart, Marine Sergeant Tom McLaughlin, in August 1962 and moved with him to Camp Lejeune immediately afterward.1 The couple had grown up in New York City, Tom on the West Side near the Hudson River and Sally in the Bronx. They had met in 1957 at a horse farm in Youngsville, New York, about ninety miles north of the city. Tom was just sixteen and enjoying a trail ride when he came across Sally and her best friend, Gail Fox, on their way to Sally’s fourteenth birthday party.MoreLess
