Removal of John Rocovich as Rector of the VT Board of Visitors
I know him very well. Most honest guy I have ever met, by a long shot. Brilliant legal mind. Brilliant financial mind. Great person.
I’m not gonna get political. But I’d trust him with my children and grandchildren.
Huge loss for you guys for which I am sorry.

landlord in the Old Mill Bldg in the 'burg. John's name was often taken in vain for pressing too hard for rent increases. I worked at BS&T and was poised on random occasions to accidentally step on the toes of his over-polished black dress shoes when he came by to kick Tiny Tim Cratchit's crutches out. But I never did, so mum's the word.

The rich trust him to do the right thing by their beneficiaries. I am sure he did the same for Tech.

opinion. I'm sure you know him from your interactions. They are opinions.
