Subject: RE: Did you know Gino (Geno) Foreman
Today, Nov. 15th, is the anniversary of Geno's death in London at the age of 25. It turns out he had Ulcerative Colitis which perforated and was missed by the doctor in the hospital. He was sent home instead of being admitted to the hospital and he died four days later from blood poisoning.
I've been reading old letters from his friends and found several of them on line.
Rainer Hachfeld, a fabulous political cartoonist has sent me three new photos of Geno from 1963 in Berlin.
Here is the link to Rainer's page of cartoons:
