Beverly lost contact with Epstein over the years. But not long
after Epstein's fiftieth birthday, she got a call out of the blue.
"He had a photo of us on the beach," she says. "A friend
noticed it at his birthday party. And Jeffrey said to the friend: 'I
bet she has a big ass now.' So Jeffrey called me and invited me to
his home on 71st Street. We hung out. We reminisced. He was
the same Jeffrey. A gentleman."
The two never did speak again, but to this day Beverly sym-
pathizes with her high school sweetheart.
"I feel so bad for him," Beverly says. "That's how much I
liked him."

Gary Grossberg was a year younger than Epstein and in the same
class as Epstein's kid brother, Mark, with whom Grossberg
remains very friendly, though he hasn't seen or spoken with Jef-
frey in some time. Both brothers are good people, he says.
"Jeffrey's a brilliant and good person. He is also incredibly
generous."
Grossberg says he's talked to Epstein about "the problem in
Florida." As he sees it, Epstein "got carried away... perhaps he
was hanging around with the wrong people."
Grossberg wonders, too, if the things that made Epstein spe-
cial contributed to his eventual fall from grace.
"He was a diamond in the rough, you see," Grossberg explains.
"People recognized Jeffrey's brilliance very early on. But he had a
gift for recognizing opportunities very quickly. He started buying
