Its a grrrreat story about DeBartolo and Mel Simon.

Ed tried to buy the Chicago White Soxs for his daughter many years ago. Mel owned or owns the Indiana Pacers. I don't follow it much.

Can't say much more about that situation. I guess its like pilot employer relationship. Like attorney client privileges.

Later Gang!

Simon Property Group is organized as a publicly-traded REIT. According to their 2002 annual report and financial statement I see that the DeBartolo family (a.k.a. NID Corporation) own 9.1% of the outstanding shares of SPG. Denise DeBartolo York is also on Simon's board and Richard Sokolov, DeBartolo Realty's's former CEO, is Simon's President and CEO.

Sure would make a great movie!

Wonder if we could get Ed (Senior) to talk. Would be interesting to interview the daughter. She was a little wild in her days (about 20 yrs ago).

But the Simon ties to Ed's family would be something like....damn I can't think of the word.

If I say like "Godfather III or IV" it wouldn't be fair to Ed or Mel. But the deals they put together and the money involved would be cool to screenplay.

Hey, just to get into Mel's compound on 86th street in Indianapolis is a trick. To use his compound for a shoot would be cool as hell.

Maybe I should call Ed, Jr. and see if he and his sister would be interested in a little short (skirt). If she gets made she is the type that tosses as drink in your face. But a nice girl!

So, who's gonna call Eddie or Mel?

Hahahahahaha!!!
