Kenneth Seidenberg, Jack Tar Hotels, St. Petersburg Times, Fort Harrison

Date: December 5, 1979
Kenneth Seidenberg, an attorney for Jack Tar Hotels, tells the St. Petersburg Times that the sale of the Fort Harrison was "one of the strangest transactions we've ever dealt in." Southern Land Sales wouldn't even give Jack Tar its telephone number, he said. "We have never been involved in this cloak and dagger (kind of deal)," Seidenberg said. "They have been so secretive that it has been driving us crazy as to who they are and what they are."
