Heebee Post #461 - Lothar Trott - Zurich - Switzerland

"MAIL ART ist (is) Mail Art"! So declares long time Mail Artist and friend Lothar Trott. Folks, these are his last words as he is having serious troubles with Parkinson's Disease. It seems that the Mail Art world will lose a character that has been in the realm almost, literally, forever.
"End of Pokuland". Ugh, wish it wasn't true Lothar. I shall certainly miss your cryptic Dada messages and your attraction to "1968 - Free Love" which was sort of your mail art mantra for a few years. And "Pokuland", your grand Fluxus Kingdom. My Dad has Parkinson's and it make things pretty rough. I'll be sending you mail from time to time. Please take care of yourself.
