Evelyn Davis in rare form:

1995 Interview

It’s easy to get an interview with Evelyn Y. Davis, but it’s impossible to get a word in edge . . .

``I gave George Allen a big hug today, make sure you put that in your story,’’ Davis says. ``You may quote me, I find him very attractive.

``In a politician, looks and personality are very important,’’ Davis continues, as she always does, ``because what else has a politician got? Promises and b.s., you know?’’

If you don’t ``know,’’ Davis will tell you. If you don’t agree, she’ll explain her side until you do. Or at least until you nod in agreement.

And she has been explaining her philosophy to CEOs and company presidents since 1960, when, as an IBM shareholder, she stood up, ``shaking like a leaf,’’ and asked a question. She no longer shakes - thanks to a $20 public-speaking course at the YMCA.
