after that they put me down at 1483 N. Claiborne as Truck
Manager and to build a business down there servicing and
selling trucks. I took Mr. DESLATTE, MONNIN and another
man with me that we hired. We went down there and set up
a little organization So while we were down there, this
was in about '61 I believe. The early part of '61 as far
as I can remember. There probably is a date on this

Well they come down and picked it up with two pieces of
plastic. They did'nt even put their fingerprints on it.

And slid these two pieces of plastic on each side of it
and offered us a receipt for it and took it with them.
JG:
In other words, they expected to find fingerprints on it?
FS:
Yes, but I don't think the man ever touched it, really.
We did, but I don't think he did. Then OSCAR come to me,

office and he said, kind of contributing to Cuba. He said
: RAMMAREAUS

says that's okay boss and he walked back out of the office
and he prepared to make up this bid which took a short

JA:

in and try to buy now. It was similar. So then he asked
me some questions, he asked . OSCAR some questions and I
went back and forth because I had customers I was working
with. I had tickets I had to get worked up. I was
working to build a business as a Service Manager and at
that time I didn't even have a Service Representative. I
was writing the tickets and had 3 or 4 mechanics working
in the back. I answered all the questions I could and
