You know, I'll never forget a quote of the father after their discovery. He said "Living without salt was a special kind of hell" and that has affected me pretty profoundly for such a tiny thing. I've tried to spend my days not taking things for granted, especially here in the developed world, and this man's experience (and subsequent comment) is something I remember every time I see or use table salt. It's become a kind of central theme in my impossible goal of not taking things (and people) for granted.
