Congress offered $100,000 compassionate pay- ments to miners suffering from diseases related to their jobs and in 2000, it offered to pay $50,000 more, as well as pick up medical expenses related to those diseases. Wright received his $100,000 payment in 1999, shortly before the federal government began issuing IOUs to claimants when the trust fund for the program ran out of money. He also received his $50,000 payment in October. We were one of the fortunate ones," Mrs. Wright said. It was only w hen he died that physicians confirmed that Mr. Wright suffered from lung cancer. He had received payments based on other ation-related cancers he suffered. Mr. Wright retired from mining in 1980. He also was an avid angler, rockhound and did lapidary work, his wife said. He really was a remarkable man," she said. radi- Wilderness First Responder Course to be held in February 17 Hie Friends of the Library are holding their first meeting of 2002 on Thursday, Jan. 17 at 515 p m.
