The year is 2015. It’s August. The setting is a 400-plus-person veterans home in Quincy, Illinois. Quincy lies in west-central Illinois on the banks of the Mississippi River, approximately 130 miles upriver from St. Louis in Adams County. It is home to around 40,000 hard-working, middle-class Americans. Water had been in the news recently due to a major Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in the South Bronx in New York City.
