[richard allman]

THANKS, FRED-ANYTHING GOOD THAT CAN AND SHOULD AND WILL BE SAID CAN ONLY 
BEGIN TO SCRATCH THE SURFACE OF KINDNESS, FRIENDLINESS, AND GENEROSITY OF 
THIS GOOD AND LOVING HUMAN PERSON, WHO BTW MAY HAVE BEEN WORLDWIDE THE 
ABSOLUTE DEAN OF TRACTION PHOTOGRAPHERS. HIS FINAL MONTHS WERE A TORMENT FOR 
HIM. REST IN PEACE, DEAR FRIEND. I HOPE PTM ESTABLISHED A MEMORIAL FUND FOR 
THIS GENTLE GIANT OF OUR FRATERNITY.
