He died when I was a child, my mother dug up a portfolio of newspaper clippings & typed news stories I haven't seen in ages, mostly from Japan & Korea but unfortunately not many photos. He also worked as a Weegee type crime beat reporter in Chicago, those would be interesting to see. All before I came around. |
