To all mail artists On the suicidal death of Baudhuin Simon: Yes, the news is true. It reached me by a message from his former girl friend on Saturday while I was hosting the arrival of a poet in my flat (Virginia Cubillan, someone I met thru Mark Sonnenfeld, she lives in the USA but is from Venezuela)
The contrast between the excitement of meeting someone new thru' the network and the sad announcement of the suicide of Baudhuin (who introduced me to mail art in 1993) was enormous. I took Virginia to see a Puccini opera on Saturday (Le Villi) That opera is on the ghosts of dead people!!! Sunday we traveled to Ostend to attend a concert with the music of Preisner (who wrote the splendid scores for all of Kieslowski's movies) The concert started with a selection of parts of his requiem for a dead friend. It almost felt that PIG DADA was present during the whole weekend. I could tell you lots of things on the circumstances of his act but I refrain myself and prefer to be quiet. It's his choice and the end of his traveling, in this world anyway. The least I can do is respect this. Be well and remember him for what he meant in mail art ...

I was not in contact with him the past years, due to reasons, but as a great wise man said. Every person who dies is another museum burned down. Will remember the good moments. I haven't got any information of cause of death as he has died very young, I believe he must be mid fifties and was living a very healthy life.
