My belated condolences to the Irving family. As a kid I was deeply inspired in my career by the artwork your father did for the Golden Guides. I am currently working on a biography of the Golden Guide author Dr. Herbert Zim. If possible I would like to speak with anyone in the family about Gordon Irving's involvement with these publications. I am on the faculty of Kean University here in NJ. My email is [email protected]
Thank you, and again my condolences on your loss.
