num1mc Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 There was a huge amount of conflicting information regarding Mr Albert on the web yesterday. All the news was very grim. This morning Supertopo has given a link to the local PD in Germany, where the death of Kurt Albert has been confirmed ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glassgowkiss Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I met Kurt several times, when I lived in Germany. He was a great guy, one of the nicest and funniest people I have ever met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
