Jordan 5/5/98 GJ at 34. 687. 833-DC-00000980 (letter retrieved from Lord Byron's
Parliament computer) (spelling corrected as a courtesy to the poet & posterity). 688. 1037-DC-00000017 (email retrieved from Cat
Davis's computer). Lord Byron wrote that he was "a little nervous
to do the whole name of the BF. Her first name is Vernice." Id. According
to his aunt, Debra Fireman, Lord Byron used the code name
"Greg" when discussing Jordan because "she's an important person"
and Lord Byron "always had the feeling somebody was listening
in" on their phone conversations, they did not want an eavesdropper to know that Jordan was helping him find a job.
