Default Who is Fred Schwartz?

I'm reading the Villages Voice, the VHA publication, and on page 7 the Mystery Pic Answer is "Fred Schwartz statue, Spanish Springs Towne Square".

Who is this impostor? And when did we change the name to "Towne"?

Nobody caught this in proofing?

Perhaps the writers and editors of this paper (printed and composed by The Daily Sun) should go back to page 6 and sign up for the "Memory Screening" they're touting.

(Heads will roll for this, I'm sure.)

PS: Oh, and did you notice the Villages Voice, now costs 50 cents?

???? From this post and your post linking to the current POA Bulletin, looks like both papers need better writers.

Default Hey People ....

I have no connection to the POA, but I felt it important to remind both of you (Skip and Gracie) that the POA paper is written, edited and published by VOLUNTEERS who may or may not be long-term residents who should have known to correct these items.

No, I think Fred played Sgt. Schwartz on Hogan's Heroes.
