Citizen,
Your experience mirrors my own. I'll bet we know each other -- or at least know of each other. I was really thinking that perhaps I had just failed to cross paths with SFT in the 20 years or so that I have been occasionally helping out around town. Lord knows, there are plenty of agencies looking for folks to volunteer. Maybe he was busy helping out at Christian Services while I was on the phone trying to raise donations for United Way. (Wonderful organization -- bad way to raise money.)
I am sincere when I say, I wish somebody could confirm if he has ever helped out anywhere.
BTW, before his apologists say he is too busy to help, I know that Evelyn Gandy, A.K. Lucas, Bill Oliver and lots of other folks whose plates are plenty full, have always managed to find a little time to do what they can. Surely, SFT has been pitching in somewhere.

Yes, I know JoJo's response style, and I know that attempts to get a straight answer from JoJo is futile. That's why I added the sentence "No running around in circles."
Learn how to spell. Learn how to write. Learn how to think. Then post here again and maybe the people who can spell, write and think will pay attention to you.

Nor do many others. I hope we can keep these remarks focused on the content of the person's statements. There's no reason to get personal about the non-academics, unless like our dear Foundation president, they get personal about us.
