The parents of Karen Ann Quin-lan, Nancy Cruzan and Christine Busalacchi are among those scheduled to address an audience of doctors, lawyers, health-care and social workers.

As for the gasoline tanks, he said! "I know what's in the tanks. Nothing."

In 1989, the MPCA discovered tetrachloroethene, or PCE, in pri- vate wells in amounts exceeding federal limits in the Clarks Lane- Gilmore area. PCE, a suspected cancer-causing chemical, is a solvent commonly used in dry cleaning.
