Well, 94 is a good long life at least... (though someone who is still
alive at that age may disagee) I have "The Americans" in my library as
well , and ya gotta know I'm a fan girl.
Fairly recently there was a nice retrospecitve at the Met that was
splendid... showing some contact sheets with china marker circles
indicating his choices for enlargement..

Mr. Frank’s visually raw and personally expressive style made him one of the
most influential photographers of the 20th century.

His photographs turned my head and got under my skin in 1970. I still have the
used 1968 paperback edition of “The Americans” I bought at a bookstore on
Fordham Road in the Bronx, NY, then…
I am so happy I was able to see his talk at the Kantor Museum (Stanford
University, Palo Alto, CA 2014). My friend Linda called and invited me to join
her: she was photographing the talk for the University.

Godspeed, Robert!
