Sad. Had he been ill?
I remember a photo of an impromptu rock band with Knetemann, Ras, maybe
Kuiper?


I remember an absolutely dreadful recording by the Raleigh boys that I was
forced to listen to at a German Club social event,



Wow--I thought they'd let it go at just a photo!

PS. Somehow I didn't figure your were in the GBSC, though I should have.

No. He suddenly fell ill today while skiing (on an artificial ski slope
in Holland) and later died in hospital. Probable heart attack.

Damn.


Well, better than dying watching TV.
Very sad.

Depends. I have a woman teacher friend in Louisiana who is Belgian. Her
father and grandfather would take her to the mountains every summer to watch
the Tour (Merckx) in the mountains. When her grandfather was a nursing home
with dementia, a the only thing that would calm him when agitated was
bicycle racing on TV. He watched his last Tour and died a few days
later--presumably a happy man.

Now that you mention it, I'm noticing how calm everyone around here is.

Which is to say that there is rampant dementia here?

That diagnosis is beyond the scope of my license to practice dentistry
in the state of New York.
