Thanks for the URL, Alan.

I have never looked at that research before but, it looks like what you said. I was, however, able to find out something about Irtving Jaffe. This is from a press release from 1997.

SAFESKIN CORPORATION ANNOUNCES EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS; RICHARD JAFFE ELECTED

CHAIRMAN, CEO AND PRESIDENT

SAN DIEGO, June 6 -- Safeskin Corporation

(Nasdaq-NNM: SFSK) today announced the election of Richard Jaffe to the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors,
Chief Executive Officer and President. Mr. Jaffe had previously been Vice Chairman of the Board, Co-Chief Executive Officer
and Secretary.

Neil K. Braverman, previously President and Co-Chief Executive Officer, was elected Co-Chairman of the Board of
Directors. Irving Jaffe, who had been Chairman of the Board for eight years, becomes Chairman Emeritus and remains a
member of the Board of Directors. The Company appreciates his contributions and looks forward to his continuing involvement
as a key member of the board.

"These elections follow the physical consolidation of our corporate headquarters in San Diego. Safeskin's rapid growth has
necessitated the changes in the Company's corporate structure to continue to meet the challenges of the marketplace," said
Richard Jaffe.

The Company also announced the retirement of two directors: Bernard Myerson, Chairman of the Board Emeritus of Loews
Theatre Management Corp., and Victor Reichenstein, President of Vicel, Inc. This reduces the Board's membership to five.

"The wisdom and counsel of Bernard Myerson and Victor Reichenstein provided helpful guidance," said Richard Jaffe. "We
shall miss their contributions."

In addition, the board elected two executives to new positions.

Seth S. Goldman has been promoted to Vice President, Controller and Secretary. He played a key role in the recent move of
the Company's finance and administrative departments from Boca Raton, Florida to San Diego and he has been instrumental in
strengthening Safeskin's financial and accounting systems. He is a certified public accountant who joined Safeskin four years
ago.

John G. Brewer has been elected Vice President, Logistics. He is responsible for Safeskin's logistics and customer service
organizations. Mr. Brewer has held financial and logistics positions with Kimberly- Clark and the Nestle Corporation.

Safeskin Corporation is the leading manufacturer of hypoallergenic disposable latex gloves for the medical and high technology
markets. The Company produces gloves at its manufacturing facilities in Southeast Asia using proprietary latex formulations and
processes. It is headquartered in San Diego, California and its stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the
symbol SFSK.

>I thought the CEO's name is Richard Jaffe? Nevertheless, it is
good to see an insider, be it the CEO or some other insider named
Irving Jaffe, step up to the plate.


for the record, irving jaffe is chairman emeritus, a safeksin
director, and father of richard. previously, he served as chairman
of the board and CEO. (i believe he stepped down from the latter
position in '93.)

Irving and Richard are one in the same. Yes Irving is the father of Richard and Irving is well informed in every day to day event at the company. You can take that purchase as a very bullish sign. If you expected your company to miss its qtr. would you be a buyer?

>Once you figure out how to read the page, it does indeed report
that Irving Jaffe purchased shares between the dates of November 2
and November 23, 1998. However, I read as a purchase of 199,400
shares at a cost of $4,413,000! Can this be right? How about a second
opinion on the reading of this report?


alan.

i checked out ms investor's insider transactions and indeed, it confirms the buys.
