Dr. Fritz Gartenhose

 
Dr. Fritz Gartenhose (the son of German immigrants) was born in a little town in Minnesota in 1926. After an uneventful childhood and youth, he attended Lowbrow University Medical School in St. Cloud, MN. He became an Otolaryngologist, practicing at the University Hospital. Something of a loner, he remained a bachelor. Little is known about him, except that he passed away in 1998, after being stung by an Africanized Honey Bee, while on a trip to Hidalgo, Texas.
 
Bob H and I discovered this remarkable likeness of the doctor on a recent hike on Mount Tamalpais.
 
If you believe any of the above, I would like to offer you a great deal on the Golden Gate Bridge.
