If there hadn't been the sharing issue, I'm sure the Morses could have easily found another venue. I do not think the loss of the high school field was due to the Morses. That was the school's decision because of work on the field. However, I think the Polo Fields could have easily accommdated Relay for Life.

I don't like the facts that (1) Moffitt coming to TV was an after-thought (Moffitt announced it was coming to Leesburg and someone decided we should have one on campus; (2) that any chairty held in TV has to share its proceeds with Moffitt; (3) the duplicitousness of "donating" the land and building when the reality is anything but a donation; (4) that TV is losing Relay for Life because of the selfishness and greed of the developer; (5) that IF donation goals are not met, the funds will be taken out of the Brownwood hospital, which is truly needed.

To accuse Russ of being a shill for the hospital in any way, shape or form is beyond the pale. He's been a caring member of TOTV for a long, long time. He loves TV. He happens to have opinions about the TV Moffitt Center that I don't agree with, but that doesn't make him any less of a person or a valued member of this forum any more than it does me. As he has said repeatedly, you can choose to contibute or not. He has chosen to contribute. I have chosen to not contribute.

And I really, really wish I had seen The Shadow's post. My curiosity is killing me!
