Ernest Wilhelm Julius Borneman seemes to be a strange mixture of English and German. Shouldn't it be Ernst Wilhelm Julius Bornemann ? 131.130.181.71 16:59, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I think so. I believe I've made a stupid mistake there. Thanks a lot, 131.130.181.71. <KF> 21:28, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Suicide?

This Article carries the Category "Suicide", but there is no mention of it in the text. Why? -- Michael David (talk) 23:30, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Borneman grew up in relative wealth

I do not know where the article writer has this information from. Borneman says in his autobiography ^[1], on p. 13: "Meine Eltern machten einen Laden für Kinderkleidung in Charlottenburg auf. Er ging schlecht, weil Vater und Mutter von unheilbarer Ehrlichkeit und deshalb konstitutionell ungeeignet für das Gewerbe waren... torkelte das Geschäft meine ganze Kindheit hindurch am Rande des Konkurses. Immer wieder musste mein Vater auf Arbeit gehen, um uns vorm Verhungern zu bewahren..." I don't see how anybody can qualify such a situation as "relative wealth".

“Colleague”?

“...at the age of 80 after the collapse of a love affair with a colleague 61 years his junior.”

I don’t think a 19 year old was his colleague. Please consider rephrasing. E A (talk) 05:04, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
