FNP 51 Page 21 saying she owned this other newspaper, which, she never owned the Enterprise Recorder. She never owned the window or the bucket. So, that's why I brought my people in and I said, we're to go twice a week, and we're going to start today. This was a Monday morning. I said, Friday, we will have a second paper on the street. That's what I've always done. We've always moved. Let's do it now. Don't plan to do it, because if you plan to do it, then the word gets out and this, that, and the other. So, we just do it. One of the people up there [said], what's going to happen if this thing don't work out twice a week? I said, then we'll go three times a week, four times a week, five times a week, we'll put out twice daily. That other paper is not going to whip us. They had the finances to do it with, or do it under normal conditions. So we were sitting here, and I was losing money. We fought for two years. The last year, we'd lost $35,000. They'd lost $140,000, according to their own spokesman after the fact. So, Mr. Ricketson called me, [and I] went over. Again, I cannot say enough about what a fine gentleman that fella is. We went over and had three different meetings at the Bob Evans Restaurant at the Lake City I-75/U.S. [Route] 90 exchange there. In those meetings, I sold him the Mayo Free Press. He had already bought the Branford News. And I bought the Enterprise Recorder. We kept this thing just between us. Nobody knew about this deal except he and his wife, and me and my wife, until we got all the details worked out on it. Then he came over and told this girl that had such a vendetta against me because she had put in to run me out of business. It was a turn-key job. I was supposed to wind up with everything as is when I took it over. Unbeknownst to Mr. and Mrs. Ricketson, all the archives had, the old, old Enterprise Recorder, since this woman had given to the Florida [State] Archives in Tallahassee under her name as the owner of the Enterprise Recorder, and after a conversation or two, I convinced them that there was going to be some hereafters if I didn't get those newspapers back, and they were mine, and, as far as I was concerned, they were holding stolen goods and was part of the party. So they've still got the papers and I told them to photograph them, keep them, secure them. I don't want anything to happen to them, but when we get this museum built, I'm going to want those newspapers back, and they're coming back home to Madison County, Florida, period. That's where we stand right now. All the Madison County archives that are in Tallahassee right now are mine. P: Why didn't you merge the two papers? G: My thought was two things. Number one, I didn't want to give up my baby because it was so well-established, the Madison County Carrier. I did not want to close down a legend; the Madison Enterprise Recorder had been here since 1865. P: But they were losing money? G: They were, under separate ownership. That's when I called my daughter in. My daughter is good with figures. She's a godsend to me. All four banks in Madison have told me repeatedly that she's the best businesswoman or best businessperson in this county. She
