Ernest Blanco is a man of fortitude and faith for after a near-lethal struggle with anthrax that left him weak and sick for months, the mail room clerk remained convinced the FBI would find out who sent the deadly, bacteria-filled letters that killed five people and made 17 people ill, even as the investigation stretched into its seventh year. Blanco, now 80, had his confidence boosted last fall during an FBI briefing for the anthrax survivors and family members of the dead.
