Subject: RE: Did you know Gino Foreman
Welcome Bob Foreman!

Thank you for your interest in Geno.

I am putting together a book about Geno and I am planning to address the issues you bring up in your post.

Clark wrote at length about Geno as a child and they wrote a "book" together the summer of 1959 called "Oedipus and the Bomb" (originally titled "Beatnik Summer").

Geno wrote about his relationship with both of his parents starting when he was very young. This will come out in the book.

Philip Abbott Luce was setting up Geno for a FBI sting which is why we had to leave the US suddenly. It is an interesting story- how we got the word about the bust and what took place afterward.

The Foremans gave me all of Geno's personal belongings. I have letters and keepsakes from the very beginning. The letters are very revealing.
Then there are all of Geno's writings. Very revealing-and beautiful.

Peace,
Marcia
