I need a picture of Gaetan Dugas, the legendary "Patient Zero" of the
early 1980s. I remember a picture of him posing for the camera (not
the one with him apparently diving into a pool feet first).

I am interested in an electronic file in jpg or similar format. I've
already found this: www.abolishadoption.com/AdoptedKillers.html by
myself.

Request for Question Clarification by bobbie7-ga on 06 Apr 2003 16:17 PDT

Hello Evillanu,

I located a full view of the same picture of Gaetan Dugas that you
included in your clarification.

Gaetan Dugas is  wearing a t-shirt, shorts, socks and running shoes.
It would appear that he’s on a swing or jumping.

Would this picture be of your interest? 

Thanks
Bobbie7

Hi Bobbie7!

Thanks for this. I was really interested in a portrait style picture
of Gaetan. He's looking slightly off to the left (or right). The
picture's so much sharper than the image you mention. Trouble is, I've
only seen in published in a book and I've forgotten the title!

THat being said, though, I'd still like to see the picture you
mention.

Thanks.
