Hi Suzieq, Yes Zavie was a really good man. My, how he had to go through everything that he did, and I always gave him credit for everything and you know what maybe it was him that P Every time that Zavie and sometimes his wife Ida would fly into Newark airport we would all get together and go to a delli Called Harolds New York Delli to eat some fabulous food. Everything was BIG there and I do mean HUGE
By the way we all perched that stock but is sold for $1,200 dollars at the time, but I did some research and found out that the company was also selling what was called American Registry Shares that was selling for only $20 a share. So after Zavie started trying to get everyone to buy shares for the $1,200 I did the research and found that $20 a share so everyone went crazy and started buying up these shares. From what I understood it ran into the millions of dollars. thus Novartis starting to make their "bones" in production of Gleevec. I also bought them and never sold not even one share because I wanted to show that this had the potential of saving lives. By the way I remember Zavie coming to my home in Florida. He rang my doorbell and as soon as I opened it there he was handing me one of his Zavie zero hats, but this was different because it turned out that my number was 1, and I still have and cherish today. Oh yes I must not forget right after guess where we went? Harold's of course it was in Edison New Jersey not that far from my home in Staten Island New York, about less then an hour away. Suzie-Qutie😃 Those were the most best times for us. Now Zavie was on Gleevec, I already had my bone marrow transplant but believe it no matter what we went through we still always had a great time. And you know what? Maybe I learned a lot from him. With all of the sever health problems that I recently went through maybe some his knowledge was taken from from him even though this was many years ago. From what I remember Zavie never complained. Also after he died a short time had passed then his wife died. All I could say after Ida passed away I knew that what he must have felt because Zavie would not want to live if it was Ida before him and not after him. I mean I personally kew these people and they really loved each other. I can just Imagine how Ida fely after Zavie passed away. However I was really disappointed in their price increases over the years, and I did make it known, just fell onto deaf ears. Want to get your mouth watering?
