Frank Fortner Quotations

We enjoyed a steady growth and each year we increased our sales a little bit. At the same time, I was building a reputation of being honest and fair. And two articles in the paper are starting to destroy that.

We have received up to five calls a day, asking when I'm getting out of prison. It's embarrassing and it's been tough. My kids will one day take over this business and they have to answer questions like that.

A lot of damage has been done, but we are hoping it can be repaired. We still have a lot of people who know us and trust us.

It started after the first story appeared and has progressed from there. I spent 18 years building a solid reputation and I earned my reputation by treating people honestly and fairly.
