Incredible! Thanks! Does anyone have more information on the connection between Gil Brewer and Love Me and Die? Harry Whittington, of course, knew both Day Keene and Gil Brewer well. All three were friends and lived in the Saint Petersburg, Florida area. Has anyone seen Whittington's account or another account of the creation of Love Me and Die?
