[DeTomaso] Doug Mann obituary

Wed Dec 23 11:56:02 EST 2009

>It's all subtrafuge,Dougie never died.He stuffed his twin brother and mom in the car with a brick on the throttle.He had financed his high flying lifestyle(remember his pic with the plane?)by flying herb in from Mexico.The feds  were closin in on him as well as the cartel for skimming.That accident was his way out.I recently ran into him on one of my road trips,in northern Ontario,workind at a Husky gas station.I thought he looked vaguely familiar,but I couldn't place him .So I casually walked up to him and comented on the weather.He replied that the weather was good for business.He gave me his business card it read Homer Pyle;XXX-XXX-2530 "your one stop shop for servicing sled dogs" and by appointment only guided Iguana ranch tours.That was the giveaway.
