R: Yes. But even though they were under our office [development control], the control
 of the alumni association was with a group of elected directors, all of whom had one
 interest and that was how the football team was doing. There was no emphasis on
 raising money for the University.

P: [There was no emphasis] on the educational part of the University, and the library?

R: No. And as you know, for a long time, the alumni association of the University of
 Florida produced very small numbers.

P: How large a staff did you have as development officer?

R: I had an assistant, [Arthur I.] Buddy Jacobs [director, Division of Development
 Services], first.

P: From Fernandina.

R: Yes. And then George Corrick.

P: George lives in Jacksonville.

R: I think George may have just retired, in fact.

P: He has.

R: Right. So there was an assistant and then I think there were one or two clerical
 [people].

P: Now, who is Buddy Jacobs?

R: Buddy Jacobs, you remember, was president of the student body, distinguished law
 school graduate, and this was Buddy's first job out of law school.

P: And he is where today?

R: He now has a major practice in Jacksonville, and in Fernandina Beach.

P: He lives in Fernandina.

R: Yes, in a beautiful, old, restored house. Or has he moved to Amelia Island now?

P: No. I guess he still lives in the restored house in Fernandina.

R: And he had a lovely wife and two or three nice daughters, I remember.

P: And [he was] very much interested in art.
