George Kalinsky, the famous Garden photographer, had dinner with Dave DeBusschere two weeks ago.

"He was talking about his golf, his tennis, how he felt real good," Kalinsky recalled yesterday.

"He always seemed energetic and enjoyed his work. I thought he was in great shape, great health. The white hair, the tan face, he still looked like a movie star. He was the best-looking of all the players on that championship team. So I'm in shock."
