Concerning Daggis

[Marc Treadwell]

As Daggis's Lover, Partner, Colleague, Friend and sometime Enemy for the 
past 28 years I want to set the story straight before the speculation and 
gossip begins.
The past months have been extremely difficult for us. First I was in the 
hospital in Riga, Latvia with pneumonia and sepsis and not expected to 
live -Daggis and the help of good friends brought me back. Then, at the 
beginning of April Daggis and I went to the hospital for what was to be a 
routine heart check for him. Things were handled very badly and a pneumonia 
he had gotten in the winter, and then heart problems, and lastly also a 
sepsis kept Daggis and me fighting for his life until yesterday.

Daggis passed away in my arms yesterday morning. I held him in my arms for 
the last hours as close as I could.  He just could not fight anymore. Daggis 
was 58.

Not many of you here knew Daggis well, many more knew him from conferences 
and almost everyone in our movement knew Daggis through reputation. His 
reputation really proceeded him where ever he went, mostly of course in 
Europe where we live but also on every other psychodrama continent. Daggis 
was a true Psychodramatist. He was a student of J.L.'s at the end of his 
life, BUT he always said his real teacher was Zerka. She was his mentor and 
inspiration. Those of you fortunate enough to have seen Daggis in action on 
the stage were privy to something special-not to everyone's likening but 
very special at the same time. He was, and this is my biased and 
professional opinion, a Psychodramatic Genius.

Daggis was extreme. I loved him more than I will ever love anyone AND at 
times I hated him more than anyone. Maybe that is a typical relationship but 
we were and still are connected at the hip. I miss him so much and I know 
that he will long be remembered by those who knew him.

For those of you who knew Daggis well and wish to pay respects or those of 
you who know me and wish to do the same are welcome to either call: 0049 
(0)179 5 33 11 63 -from the States dial first: 01149 not 0049. or you can 
send an e-mail to me personally at: tread at ish.de

No matter what-He was my man!
