Agent Orange attorney John O'Quinn,Esq., who shared in the $10,767,443.63 lawyer fees, of the $180 million AO lawsuit settlement on may 6, 1984, died this morning in a single car accident in Houston TX.. The SUV he was driving hit a tree in the rain. Fed Judge Weinstine approved the settlement, that relegated the Agent Orange issue from the front page of the newspapers back to page 22, and set the truth about dioxin back decades. The class action lawsuit netted some vets $12,000 max. Most got nothing. I met him 25 years ago, when I testified against the settlement.... RIP.
