STATEMENT OF FACT FROM MRS. JOHN MORRIS MARR
    Greg & "shack-up" came back to America in Feburary 2001, to do a research on the woman his father was going to marry. He poisoned his brother and sister against her, but did not presuade his father not to marry Miss Norman. He enlisted his father's minister, Johnny Arnold, against his father, and spread three pages of lies and untruths about Miss Norman. He even went up to Norfolk, Virginia to ask her neighbors about her. Greg was not happy with the coming marriage because then he could not control his father and the Marr Revokable Trust Fund and its money.
    His father, John, was married on Feburary 15, 2001 in a ceremony conducted by Johnny Arnold. The wedding was held at the 1111 Brookwood Drive residence of Mr. Marr, with many neighbors and friends in attendance, John's granddaughter's by his daughter Donah Arndt were the Maid of honor and bride's maid, Nancy Carol and Katie Arndt. Mr. Marr made the new Mrs. Marr his power of attorney taking it away from Greg, because Greg went back to South America, and Mr. Marr had to go into the hospital.
    In the summer when Greg and "shack-up" came back from South America, it took him a few months to poison his father against the new Mrs. Marr, vowing to take away his love is she was not gotten rid of.
     On September 6, 2001, John, with Greg at his side, signed papers to have his wife of seven months, evected from John's Florida residence, It was at 10:00 p.m. at night, done by a police officer of the court, in a manner so none of the neighbors would see the police car. Greg prompted his father to tell the Judge that Mrs. Marr had hit him over the head with a printer. If Mr. Marr at age 81 had been hit over the head with a printer, he would not be living. He did not have a scrach on him, the charges were faulsified to get rid of Mrs. Marr. [ Mrs. Marr was cleared of all charges against her by the judge.]
     That night Greg, "shack up" or Greg's brother Jeff, took out of Mrs. Marr's purse all of her cash money, a check written on their joint account for her monthly allowence, her AAA Plus Automobile Card, her military identification and her personal Norfolk, Virginia bank checking directory. John, that day, had closed their joint checking account so Mrs. Marr had no money and no place to go. She went back to her Virginia home she had kept in her name, on the $20. the police officer made Greg give back to her. She was not allowed to take her computer which was her livelyhood, she was a retired Graphic Designer, so she had no way to make a living. She was not even allowed to back up her genealogy program and take it with her. Greg, his brother Jeff, and "shack-up" made her leaving the home she had made with her husband, as difficult as possible. Laughing, jeering at her as she sobbed for the injustice of what they were doing to her. Mrs. Marr was evicted with some of her clothes , but none of her personal possessions. The sons had taken Mr. Marr away so he would not give in and relent. Mrs. Marr found a note in her car from her husband saying "Sorry I could not love you enough".
    Mrs. Marr hired a Florida attorney, John C. Kenny, to fight for her husband, but ended up agreeing on the divorce if her property was returned to her.
   When Mrs. Marr when down to Florida to retrieve her possessions Greg had tied in garbage bags, she found her pictures had purpossily been dropped on the concrete floor of the storage shed braking the glass in the frames. Some of her books looked like someone had poured water over them and curled the pages.

A CAPITAL CITY LODGING LANDMARK TURNS IN ITS KEYS, THE TALLAHASSEE MOTOR HOTEL, OPEN SINCE 1925, WILL SHUT ITS DOORS FRIDAY.
     By Fred A. Schneyer, Democrat Staff Writer
    Travelers knew they were nearing the Capital City when they saw one of the 300 to 400 billboards advertising the "deluxe accommodations" at the Tallahassee Motor Hotel.
    But, after 69 years of serving Tallahassee visitors vacationers and travelers, Gilbert Chandler's motel across from Lake Ella closes its doors Friday.
    The reason: Chandler says he can make more money leasing the land to commercial tenants than he can by continuing to operate the 92-unit motel at 1630 N. Monroe St.
    That's because Chandler is going up against much newer motels in Tallahassee, including many near Interstate 10. Also, motels now have to be continually upgraded to stay competitive.
    "Competition is pretty bad and we're not a new motel like most of them are in Tallahassee," Chandler said.
    Chandler said he expects to have the 16-acre site ready to lease in three separate parcels by September. He would not comment on reports that negotiations are underway with a restaurant.
    The motel's billboards once lined highways in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. For years, few road signs told the distance to the Capital City, so travelers would use the hotel's billboards as guides: "25 miles to Tallahassee."
    Now, however, the hotel has only about 100 billboards remaining, Chandler said.
    The hotel opened in 1925 on South Adams Street. Three years later, the Chandler family moved it to the North Monroe location on Lake Ella.
    It was remodeled and expanded several times through the years and was the first motel in Tallahassee to have indoor bathrooms.
    At times, the small cottages next to Lake Ella were rented to motel partons. Now, the cottages are leased to small shops.
    "In business you have to take a chance," Chandler said, "But, if your chance doesn't look like it's going to be that good you'd better not take it."
    Democrat columnist George Lane Jr. contributed to this report.

    Herbert W. Chandler, $22,000 residence, Betton Hill.

"MOTEL/MOTOR INN JOURNAL", January 1972. Written by Ray Sawyer, Assistant Editor.
    When Herbert Chandler opened his sparkling new, 125-unit, full service Ramada Inn in late 1971, he unvailed the beginning of yet another chapter in the remarkable story of the Chandler family, one of the true pioneer families of the motel business. For with this property, he took the major portion of his share of the business into a whole new operational realm as far as the family was concerned; that of taking part in a franchise arrangement.
    But in the process, he borrowed a leaf from his father's method of operation. He bulldozed a somewhat dated, though currently successful, property to replace it with a sleek, up-to-the-minute one -- something Gilbert Chandler, Sr., had done four times over his extraordinarily successful four decades in the business.
   "As soon as the partnership was dissolved," Herbert Chandler said, "I immediately set out to find an available one. I contacted Ramada, Hilton and Sheraton, the only ones without properties in the Tallahassee area.
    In the meantime, he had also purchased an additional 1 1/2 acres of land adjoining the Tallahassee Motor Lodge for $22,500, which included 40 feet of frontage. Upon obtaining an agreement with Ramada and putting his plans together, he demolished the 19-year-old facility to make way for the new one.
    In the business since boyhood and also a real estate broker and owner of Gulf States Land Co., Herbert Chandler attributes much of his success to what he has learned from his father.
    Like his father and Gilbert, Jr., he is, and has been active in several organizations. He has served on the Florida Board of Hotels and Motor Hotels. He is past president of the local Jaycees and is presently a member of the board of directors, Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce. In addition, he belongs to: the Exchange Club, the Elks Club, the Shriners and the American Legion, the Quarterback Club and the 40&8 Chapter of the American Legion.
    Besides owning the new property, Herbert Chandler is its general manager. "Overseeing your property this way requires more work and time, but I feel that is absolutely necessary for everything to function as one unit so that you can have flexibilty of being able to replace a department manager if a change is necessary or of being able to correct problems in any area as they develop. I wouldn't under any circumstances, lease out any part of the operation. If you do, you lose control. And if you don't have good food service, for example, it affects the rental of rooms and the image of the property."
  The two-story, $1,6-million property, desinged by architect Saxon Poyner, Tallahassee, and featuring the typical Ramada contemporary front and porte conchere with columns and glass fronts, was built by Ferrell Construction Co., Tallahassee. Interiors are of Spanish design in keeping with the Spanish influence in the area's history. Interior decor including both public areas and guest rooms, was handled by Gary Cohen, Equipment Planners, Moline, Ill.,  who also handled the purchasing of furnishings and equipment.
    The property's Royal Scott Dining Room, operated by Bruce Bishop who has 35 years of experience in food preparation, displays Scottish decor and features seafood and steaks. A piano bar is provided for guest entertainment in the Highlands Lounge. The King's English banquet room accommodates up to 130 for banquets and meetings, and can be partitioned off for smaller groups.
    Measuring 12x18 feet, guest rooms feature burnt orange and gold color schemes, short shag carpets, vinyl wall covering, two queen-size beds, GE Zone Line combination heating and air-conditioning units, cable color TV, separate dressing areas and plumbing by American-Standard. Rental rates are $13 for singles and $17 for doubles.
   To launch this newest motel, the younger Chandler fittingly asked his father to take part in the ribbon-cutting ceremonies during the grand opening, which was well attended by local digintaries and citizens.

Herb married Martha Jean HEWETT [scrapbook] "Miff", daughter of Burton E. HEWETT and Thelma PIPKIN, on 30 Jul 1949 in Lakeland, Polk Co., Florida. Miff was born 29 Mar 1928 in Clearwater, Pinellas Co., Florida.

    CLEARING THE WAY -- Davis-Standard received an assist from area volunteer firemen yesterday as this building was burned to the ground to clear the way for a new plant. (Sun Photo)
    Firemen on Hand, Let Building Burn.
    A 224-year old farmhouse went up in flames yesterday while volunteer fire - fighting units from four towns of Stonington departments stood by and watched and didn't do a thing to stop it. There were no complaints from the owners - only commendations to the firemen for a job well done.
    The old farm, originally built by the Babcock family about 1740 and occupied later by the George Randall family, had been abandoned for many years. The Howard Taylor family was the last to reside there. It finally stood in the way of progress on the site of the new Davis - Standard plant off Route 1, just west of Stonington High School.
    At the request of Davis - Standard officials, the torch was put to the farm buildings late yesterday morning by Lt. Walter Main, town first marshal, and Fire Chiefs John J. Donahue, Pawcatuck and William Reardon of Wequetequock. Equipment and men of both departments as well as units from the Stonington and Quiambaug volunteer companies were on hand to help out if needed. Chiefs Robert Stillman of the Borough department and Pat McKenna of Quiambaug were at the scene.
    Conditions were excellent for the Sunday blaze. The wind was out of the west and it had rained all night, eliminating the danger of grass fires in the surrounding area.
    Wequetequock firemen burned the event into a simi - social affair by serving coffee, hamburgers and hot dogs to the visiting firemen when the project had been completed.
