Public transcription

It's no secret that Jeffrey appreciates beautiful women. But not many people know that he can create them out of thin air -- at least he did in Iowa in 1988. At the time, I was managing the money of the Zimmerman family, and they lived in Fairfield Iowa, a town of less than 10,000 people between Ottumwa and Burlington. Hog farming is a serious industry there, and many feel there is more than a little truth to the saying that its hard to tell the difference between the girls and the hogs in Southeast Iowa. I had invited Jeffrey to come to Fairfield to see our investment operations, meet the Zimmerman family, and learn more about their major charitable projects. He asked about the nightlife and we could only laugh as we dropped him off at the local motel. The next morning a group of 4 of us picked up Jeffrey to give him a tour of the area. At our first stop we parked in front of a bookstore. As we were getting out of the car, a spectacular tall blonde woman suddenly come out of the store, walked directly past us and up to Jeffrey and announced: "I am new to this area, what's going on?". It turned out she was a sales representative for a firm selling academic branded athletic clothing, and she was literally driving through Iowa visiting local campuses. Jeffrey invited her to join us, and did his magic. Within a few hours, he had invited her to return to New York with him for the weekend. The guys in the car we astonished to even see such an attractive lady in Fairfield, amazed that she passed over them to meet Jeff, and were speechless when she agreed to come to New York. I'll admit to wondering at the time whether Jeffrey somehow arranged the whole episode through some long distance escort service. But the following week I happened to be in Manhattan and Jeffrey asked me to give her a ride back in our company plane, giving me a chance to speak with her for a few hours. She was the real McCoy. Happy Birthday Jeff! Best wishes, Bill Elkus
