There are a lot of people that live here that don't know a lot about the people who have been involved in the Development of TV over the years. Look online at the names that have been the movers and shakers in TV. Look whose been involved in The Villages Charter Schools, Public Safety, Recreation etc. A lot of the same names come up. There are people here that don't care who did or does what. Then there are others who watch what's going on and read about whose done what to make TV what it is today. I've met John, been to his meetings he's been very much involved.
If the FAMILY made the decision to name the Rec. Center after him who are we to question it PERIOD.
