When Robert went to Paris, he meet Gerda(Pohorylles)Taro in September 1934, fell in love the summer of 1935. In the spring of 1937 he asked her to marry him, she said no. Then on 26 July 1937 she was killed. Becoming the first woman photographer ever killed in battle. She was barried in Paris on 01 Aug 37. Her 27th birthday. My information comes from Cornell Capa. He and I have been friend since 1960. He was my ASMP sponcer that year. We are working on a new show of Robert work, which will open September 05. Richard Whelan, Capa's biographer is doing a new book with many photos that have never been seen before. If you know anyone or a company that would like to help underwrite the book and show have them contact me. T. Mike Fletcher 314-504-6347 QWhoZeiss@aol.com
