Re: [DMCForum] JZD article, David E. Davis, Automobile magazine article was tasteles

["Avi Sarfaraz" <asarfaraz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know a guy who used to work for packard, and had met JZD on several 
occasions.

He said that meeting JZD was very pleasurable on all occasions, although he 
did point out that JZD was the type of person to do the whole coccaine thing 
to save his company.

Not like my opinon matters.
