Reply to "Vito De Tomaso"

...I'm not at all even convinced the documents were sold, my guess is they were simply taken. When I went looking for my build sheet about 4 years ago,  I called the fellow in Southern California who had bought the physical inventory at DeT, told me that the company records were part of the purchase but for some reason, he couldn't get an answer from Italy. Even gave me Santiago's phone number (!)  But to see the one in possession of the documents explain his heroism, how he 'saved' the documents from the building. In other words, the door wasn't locked so I went in and helped myself. The only one who somehow imagined the papers were worth millions of dollars was the person who loaded their car with them. And his friend Harvey the rabbit...

  I would not in the slightest way point a finger at Mrs. DeT or say a bad word of the family. I'd guess that the family is proud and strong and doesn't owe the rest of us a justification, or even a defense.

  There is another source of over ~200 build sheets, I remember, for Mangusta. He didn't have mine. But not all is truly lost, its just that others have picked a different course for spending their life.

  I miss Wellis' insight on this blog, but as I see it, Mrs. DeT has had a remarkable life of real character, in an incredible time in history--Lee
