Q Was there a time in which you came to
sell the shares you owned in Seminole
Manufacturing Company?
A Yes.
Q Do you remember approximately when
that was?
A 1974, I think. And I think--
Q. '74 or '94?
A '94, I mean. Excuse me.

Q And would you please describe for us
the circumstances--or how you came--how that
transaction came about?
A Well, Mark had--when Mark was alive--
Mark Weitzenhoffer was alive--and he passed
away in 1970--he gave stock in--I think out
of his estate, and that's where I got my
shares.
And finally I decided one day that there
wasn't anything for me to do with the
Seminole Manufacturing Company, which Mark
had headed. And so I tried to find a buyer,
and I did find a buyer that bought it at $297
[$29.70] a share, or a total of $297,000.
Q Do you recall what steps you took to
find a buyer?
A Just asked somebody in the company if
they would acquire it.

Q Do you recall what, if any,
investigation you undertook at the time as to
the reasonableness of the sale price?
A I didn't--I thought it was
reasonable, and I decided that I could use
the money to do something else, and I went
ahead and sold it.
