• NEW! (December 2011) Proposal for Kickstarter.com !!! Dwight has lots of interests and concerns. One of his many hats has been in New Mexico as an investigative journalist and commentator. Dwight's book proposal is being considered by Kickstarter.com. This proposal is to write a book about the Hantavirus outbreak controversy in New Mexico in 1993. He wrote a controversial and well-researched series of articles asking some tough questions that the mainstream media didn't ask. 13 people died in this "outbreak," and his articles for Crosswinds Magazine in Santa Fe uncovered some interesting facts of the case. He conducted many interviews and spoke to medical experts, government officials and others related to the case Loop's book on the Hantavirus story would touch on the sensitivities and questions that surround the story, the impact on the Native American communities, the scientific evidence and much more.
