About 2 or 3 years ago, a situation occured at my high school alma mater (Beaver Dam, WI. . . .Home of the Golden Beavers--insert joke here) where several players and fans from the visiting team were overcome by Zamboni fumes and had to be hospitalized. The last thing that I heard was that some of the players suffered permanent (lung?) damage and there was a pending lawsuit. Apparently, these fumes were discriminatory because I don't believe any of the home fans or players were affected beyond simple nausea. But that usually happened at Beaver Dam hockey games anyway. :) Chuck [log in to unmask] ON WISCONSIN!!! A former Beaver Dam Sieve.
