January
1997 - Greeting
the Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange Dick Grasso
June
1997 - I met and worked with J.W.
"Doc" Buyers, the Chairman and CEO of Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut
company in Hawaii. A delightful man to speak with, he was just
getting started learning PC's. During our conversation, I mentioned
that I was a huge fan of (the original) Hawaii Five-O TV show with Jack
Lord. As it turns out, he was a close friend of his, so I asked him if
he wouldn't mind forwarding a letter from me to him. I had heard that
he was ill with Alzheimer's disease, so I wanted to write him how much I
enjoyed his show when I was a boy. Doc was most kind to forward my
note to Jack Lord, who received it just 6 months before he died.
