Newspaper Chains McClatchy, Lee May Be Worth Nothing

Hello Don: I think the UT is a diamond in the rough with the potential for multiple income streams, circulation, classified, to name a few, it was not to long ago that the circulars and classifieds on a Sunday put the weight of my Sunday paper at over 5#, now it weighs less than 1/2 of that. David Copley was a very private person in a very public business and the two never meshed. I met him several times and he was always very polite and kind, once when he was with the newcaster Susan something, I joked to him you know she is after only one thing, he laughed so hard, his ciarette smoke was coming out his ears, he was the biggest human being I have ever seen in my life, but I really think he loved San Diego and its people, he helped alot of organizations and people. I know people are cheering the sale of the conservative UT, but these new owners are only interested in one thing, making money and at whose expense do you think that will be at Don? Sincerely, Ace
