   I am ever reminded (even as my family real estate operation   
   has been straightening out a back tax issue with his employers,   
   as I couldn't afford to file returns for years given our losses)   
   of his saying,in response to someone's association of him with   
   diapers,that he had never found any large enough for him to wear,   
   and my pointing him to a website where one could buy diapers with   
   up to a 110 inch waist,and his non-response...I have long imagined   
   him as enormously obese but have no idea if he really was.
