Thank you for presenting some actual facts. Amazing that most of the individuals driving this current speculation/conversation didn't know all the facts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancer79 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I suppose it should be noted that over the years... as fundraising missed its mark, George very often made up the difference with his own funds. Just like in the old days when directors would take a second mortgage on their homes... ie. Bonfiglio and Robinson... to keep the corps going, Hopkins was no different. He poured his life and funds into the corps and organization he loved. Sorry to rain on your parade of bias, hatred and judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you would know this, since you say you only got to know him in 2017-2018. But even if true, what does that say about his abilities as a manager and fundraiser? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the small group of Alumni said to George, it’s better for him to just take the draw (as in Chess... aka Bobby Fischer). I think you know what I mean. Check your sources on January 23rd, 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide the link to the court docs via PM by chance? I didn't see those and am just interested in reading them (wanted to be a judge in my much younger days) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
