Came the election and with the suppgrt of two newspapers and hundreds and hundreds of people who searched out the fruth we three won out, and with the help of thousands of taxpayers a new school was built. But it was a stormy sea. In the final recall vote only a few votes separated Casey, Paine and Brickell. Then came another-NC Council election---Jack was not up for election, but became a focal point. Proponents for a write-in candidate made use of Jack's injured image. A phone campaign started "If Bob Carr isn't returned to the City Council, Jack Brickell will be the next Mayor of NC, “ I know because calls were made to me. Jack laughed heartily when he heard it. Jack had no quarrel with Bob Carr and liked him very much. As a politician he enjoyed being used in this manner and thought it quite a masterful stroke. But italso indicated that the sand in Jack's hourglass was running out, I doubt that he could have been re-elected. The last favor Jack asked of me was to help him identify the people on the jury list that were to try him in an insurance case. The trial endedina hung jury and the charges were later dismissed.
