I talked to my old friend Olaf today. He seemed in bad esteem. He explained the situation to me and that he wanted to prove the world wrong. I asked, 'why prove the world wrong', and he replied that he wished he never had anything to do with View Askew, it was a curse put upon him. I told him there, saddled up at Jersey bar, maybe I can make these people, who never even knew at all, love you again. Whatever anybody thinks about Olaf, I know him personally, and he is one of the most beautiful, genuine man I've ever met, not perfect, but someone who is true, scars and all. Just thought I would share this with the board because I know he is in bad esteem, Harry Houdini, a proud friend of Olaf.
