GLUCOSOMINE Yes, I did get to go to Iowa to witness the graduation of my daugh= ter from Dordt College, along with Andrew Vink and Kirsten Vanderwal.

The other more interesting was a tour from a friend of mine fr= om Sioux Pharm Inc. which takes 45% of all the throats and tracheas of all = the cattle of the US and renders them down to produce a white powder called= Glucosomine. Yes, this is the product which goes into the pills used to st= rengthen peoples joints. A cut throat business.
