bring her to your beautiful, civilized, impressive home on Maple Ave. Think back on that now.
That
shows a lot. It really does. You did11't give a shit about what she thought. And she couldn't have been too
impressed. You were seriously easy going - never up tight. Never worried, always confident. That aspect
of your personality, of course coupled with your brilliance and intellect is what made you who and what
you are today. That don't give a shit attitude, your calculated aloofness, your sense of humor ;md most
importantly that confidence came to you early 011. You had to have confidence and an I don't give a shit
attitude to brin�into your Sea Gate world. It worked! You began to realize that you could get away
with shit! That chicks ,md people in general were schmucks! You sensed that you were sharper mid more
astute than most.
Especially the ones who had women, money, position and power. Yes, your charisma and persuasive ways
came very early on. And you didn't learn life's lessons in your house. You learned tl1em from us (me,
frog, WE) from Europe, Interlachen, our trips to tl1e city and all the people you met along the way. Maybe
you picked up a little from Timmy, too. Remember meeting Phillie? He's 16. He said he'll always
remember how you said that Timmy taught you a lot about business. I know you enhanced tl1at a bit, but
that was a great thing to say to a kid., and I'll never forget it either. Warren and Phillie are crazy about
each other and the kid is obviously enamoured by you and loved meeting you. It meant a lot to him and
me. He's really a great kid - has that easy going, confident mmmer. Good looking kid.
So now you're fifty. No sweat Jeff. You look great, you're probably in the best shape of your life and
you're not slowing down one bit. If no one told you how old you were - wouldn't you think you were 36
or something? Just don't get bored m1d stay healthy.
And then there's Warren. He's as hilarious as ever and exactly tl1e same as he was 35 yrs. ago with his
trench coat and ltis business man's boots BACK THEN! We see each other pretty often. When can
Warren and I get together w/ you for at least an evening and just get Warren started, you know the way we
used to. Maybe we need to include Z1icca as a prop for Warren.
If you look at our little group of you , Warren, Frog and me. We were very close, although we never said
or knew it back then. We didn't have girlfriends, we never even dated. We didn't look to our families
really for anything, we had each other. That was through high school. Then when we went to college we
were still close but we each began go bnmch out from the group. We had great times and I'm convinced -
and I know this as fact: You guys made me what I became today and there's not a day that goes by that I
don't think about you. So Jeff, even though we don't speak that often, and our lives don't intersect, you
really are a part of me m1d I will always be grateful for the great times we had. You have been and still are
a great influence for me. You don't know it, but you' re my kid's role model. That's why it's so satisfying
to recall the past witl1 you. It has shaped both of us. When Warren and I get together, who and what do
you think we talk about? You, You, You, You, its constmlt - I can't stand it anymore.
That's it for now. I know I got a bit sentimental, but it's the occasion. Take good care. I'll always have
the fondest memories of our past and I can honestly say they were the best years of my life - even tl10ugh l
couldn't ever get laid.
Eternally and with love,

Dearest Jeffrey,
if I were to list my !ife time achievements, surely scoring higher than you on the nineth
grade algebra regent would rank in the top ten. I'll never forget the exhilaration of
considering myself smarter than Jeffrey Epstein in math. That same year, you not only
performed mathematical magic by tutoring me to get a perfect score on the regent,
you thrilled our class in music by playing 11 California Dreaming" on the piano, and thrilled
me even more by stealing a kiss after "The Sound of Music" at Radio City Music Hall.
When we met again some time after college, you had shoulder length curls, wore
wonderful hand-embroidered denim work shirts and tight jeans, and drove a brown
Camara with a glove compartment full of parking tickets. Needless to say, you had
outgrown your shyness around girls and even confessed that you participated in peace
marches because they were the easiest places tp get laid. A truly unique perspective
on political activism in the ?O's.
A few years later during a trip to Palm Beach, we were driving around admiring the
homes when you pointed in the direction of a particularly impressive mansion and said,
"One day, I'm going to own that." I smiled and considered your comment nothing more
than wishful thinking. Many mansions later, you have shown me the importance of
having a vision and the determination to pursue it. A lesson I continue to rely upon for
inspiration.
From lessons in algebra to lessons in life, the lessons I've learned from you during the
past 35 years haven't always been easy or even ones that I would have chosen to learn,
but they were always important. I'm very grateful to have you for a friend and hope
that if you· ever need help solving a rate/time/distance problem, you won't hesitate to
call.
