[DeTomaso] Doug Mann obituary

[Bill Lewis]

I didn't know him - but, man, what a way to go!!  And, just to show you that male's minds don't start to mature until age 25+, when I was 20, going to be 21 fairly soon, I told my friends that on my 21st birthday I was going to buy a Corvette (Panteras were not even a twinkle in Tom's mind then) and drive off a cliff at over 100MPH.   ---Bill
