Interesting, since I just looked at the list of 100 recreation centers and only a few are named after Morse family members. Also, didn't notice any of the 50+ golf courses had a Morse name. Street names are a different story

I have a curiosity question - are the rec centers considered public places? I have not been to one lately, but seem to recall being asked for my Village's ID card before being allowed in. I know exceptions are made for voting, but for day to day access are they really public places?

There are also the Sharon Morse Performing Arts Center and the Sharon Morse Medical Center.

And let's not forget the larger-than-life-sized statue of Harold Schwartz standing in the fountain-pool at Spanish Springs Town Square.

Point being, it's not any more or less narcissistic to have a big honkin portrait of yourself somewhere in your house, than it is to have a statue made in your honor or a building named after you. For all anyone knows, Fauci was given this portrait as a gift from some well-known artist, and it's valuable, and thematic (since it's a portrait of him), so he has it displayed prominently in the room.

My grandparents had busts made of themselves by a local artist and they were displayed in the foyer of their home, across from the front doors. They weren't narcissistic either - to them it was them, supporting the arts. They were also donors at the local performance theatre, and had little plaques with their names on a pair of box seats. My parents did the same.
