Thanks for the plug, Alan. 

As for being a man of stature, I confess that the physical conditions that
must have led you to that characterization of me have now, after four
surgeries, left me alive but confined to a wheelchair. Thanks for your
understanding and compassion, Mr. Benard.

As well as being a man of stature, J. David is a dreamer. 

Here's J. David's redevelopment scheme for the college, complete with fresh
ideas about union busting and outsourcing:

>Outsource as much of the food services, maintenance, security, landscaping,
etc. to the new retail restaurants and other businesses as possible. One
hand washes the other.
Students will love giving a cut of their room and board fees to
multi-national corporations:

>The income streams for leasing space to the ALC management company
(Marriott, Hyatt, and others are experts in this business now) and the rent
from student residential housing in the ALC (which Marriott, at least can
do) will both be part of a sustainable income stream to the College.
Here's the old-folks home and strip-mall part, because J. David will:

>Provide adequate, attractive retail spaces on long-term leases
>We also find a nationally recognized developer of assisted living
communities. ... They are asked to imagine a clean slate of structures
around the core described above and to build clusters of residential homes
and retail stores anchored by a state-of-the-art residential assisted living
center (services from adult day care, independent living, and assisted
living, to Alzheimer's care, nursing home and hospice) and, if necessary, a
clinic. The assisted living center (ALC) structure would also house
first-year students with all the dining facilities required for both
populations: table service for the seasoned citizens and cafeteria service
for the students and the seniors' family and guests.
That'll make the little shits behave -- make 'em eat with grandma! Anyone's
grandma. 

J. David, no, this is not passing "the snicker factor," nor the smell test.
