Re: Roy Nesseth

[DMCVegas@xxxx]

I'm acctually sad to hear that. Nesseth always seemed like he was a 
good friend of JZD, and his family. Another notable item is that if 
not for Nesseth, DMC may not have gotten off the ground. Nesseth was 
able to apply the nessisary pressure to the right people, and got the 
Dealer Network built for the DMC-12 among other things. While there 
are some unfavorable things written about him, I've never heard of 
either Nesseth, or JZD being given a chance to explain their side of 
the story. Especially since these stories have sometimes come from 
people who've had personal conflicts with both the men, and the 
company. Overall though, his passing is a loss. Nesseth worked behind 
the scenes @ DMC, and may have been able to provide an interesting 
insight on the workings of the company. Of course the most notable 
thing of all was even after the colapse of DMC, a few articles still 
note that Nesseth stuck around. It's too bad the same could not have 
been said for JZD's wife, or his high class "friends" (i.e. Maur 
Dubin), but i won't go into that here.

I tried searching for Nesseth both online, and thru the public 
telephone records @ the library. So now I know why I couldn't find 
him. If nothing else, he was someone involved within the DMC project 
who never got full credit for helping start/keep the company 
together...

If anyone is interested, a while back I uploaded what I believed to 
be the only photo I could find of Roy Nesseth from the newspaper 
archives at the library. I don't want to bother his daughter or 
anything like that, but could it be possibe to get a confirmation on 
the photo?
