Sad news

Wasn't he the founding spirit of the ISG? If my factional knowledge is right he 
was a founder of the Faction/Tendency 3 in the IMG (Klein) along with Tariq, 
Greg Tucker (who died last year)and others who supported the IMG and the whole 
of the European sections of the USFI going deep into social democracy before it 
was fashionable! That was in 1980-1982. The IMG spun and turned towards Bennism 
in about 1982-83?
