My other experience with a Welsh (or should I say Cymru?) connection is more recent. I have a medical condition known as Dupuy-Trens Contracture, characterized by knots of extra muscle fiber tissue on the hands. It causes your fingers to bend until they can no longer straighten. Surgery is the only treatment for this condition. While discussing the treatment (which I eventually got), the doctor told me that the affliction is limited mainliy to people of Welsh origin and asked me if that was my ethnic background. I regretted to have to tell him that it was not, at least to my knowledge.
Are you familiar with this "Welsh disease?"

Walt
