[DML] Re: John DeLorean

["James" <james@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ed Lapham from Automotive News in Detroit just called to let me know
that he was told that JZD was released earlier today from a hospital
in Morristown, NJ and transferred to an undisclosed rehabilitation
center. 

I had just spoken with JZD yesterday morning. We had been contacted by
a reporter for Bloomberg who wished to contact JZD for comments on the
recent bad news from GM. I called JZD to pass the reporter's info on
to him. At first was was reluctant to speak to the reporter, but later
called and asked for his contact information. He seemed in good
spirits and quite eager to speak to the reporter yesterday morning. 

I was lucky enough to meet JZD at his home back in '98. Chris Rabalais
and I sat on his back porch for the better part of a Sunday afternoon
and talked about everything from golf to real estate and ex-wives. We
spoke very little about the car. One of the things that stuck in my
mind was how he said that he had a lot of ideas and thoughts about the
problems of the world's automakers, but no one would listen to him.

It would be a shame that if now the media is ready to listen to him,
it's too late.
