My mother, RoseAnna, was friends with Lawrence in Detroit in the 1930's. I have some pictures of young Lawrence. If you would like to see them, please let me know.

I met Dr Frohman in 1993 when he took me for a postdoc in his Research laboratory at UIC.
When I arrived in Chicago,i lived for two week in his appartment with him and barbara. He was a tremendous scientific and a nice and caring person. I loved working with him during these 2 years and i will remember him forever.
Good bye Larry.
