...NATHAN: I think that a meaningful turndown in the consumer price index is not going to be visible for another six months or eight months.

For his services in making the connection, Voloshen received $50,000 from the grateful firm. When Parvin/Dohrmann Chairman Delbert Coleman sought the services of Voloshen, there was little doubt that he could produce.
