Longtime Denton Record-Chronicle Publisher Emeritus Fred Patterson was remembered by friends and family as a man with two careers.
He built a reputation in Denton as an advertising salesman and newspaper publisher. His legacy, though, will also be as a man whose support for the arts, history and economic growth helped plant the seeds that helped Denton bloom into a cosmopolitan county seat proud of its distinctions from Dallas and Fort Worth.
Patterson died Saturday. He was 92.
