Norman had approached me, while I was the AVP of DeBartolo Financial Services www.debartoloholdings.com , to fund the ADC mini perm funding for the La Coquille tear down. Norm was thin on resume and financial statement and ultimately flipped it to Mel Simon www.simon.com . Mel Joint Ventured with Shimizu and the Ritz went under construction.
