12 Q. "Did you ever fill out and complete"
13 "personal property tax returns in the early '70s"
14 "where you would have had to have disclosed the"
15 "value of any securities held, whether it be by"
16 "public companies or privately-owned shares? "
17 MR. WOLINETZ: "I'm going to object."
18 "Even if he did, it would be hearsay, and his "
19 "valuation as to his stock would be irrelevant to"
20 "the stock of any of the other shareholders."
21 "Having said that, you can answer the question."
22 A. "First of all, when did the -- when was"
23 " the gift made? I do not recall the date. Because "
24 "I thought it was in early '80s, but maybe I'm"

2 Q. "Late '70s."
3 A. "Late '70s? "
4 Q. " Yeah."
5 A.'Okay. All I know is that from around "
6 "that time, the late '70s --'79,'80,'81, "
7 "somewhere in there, Harold, from that point until"
8 "now, my tax returns have been consistently"
9 " prepared by Deloitte & Touche. And if a valuation "
10 "was directly or indirectly performed in connection"
11 " with any of those returns, then the answer to your"
12 "question would be yes. I have no idea."
