Kevin Johnson is a terrific guy and very genuine. He was a beloved athlete here in Arizona.

You are right about Kevin. I live close to Sacramento and had the opportunity to meet Kevin one time. He is developing his old neighborhood, Oak Park. I met him at the grand opening of “40 Acres” (from 40 acres & a mule).

One of his “kids” took me on a tour of the building: a Starbucks, book store, theater, Uncle Jed’s Cut Hut and office spaces.

He told me that he had known Kevin since he was in 8th grade and was now attending U. of AZ. Very polite and gracious young man.

He is much admired in Sacramento, also.

Sounds like David Robison - he and his wife set up the Carver Academy, and they've donated around $10 million to it.

The mission of the school:

The Carver Academy offers elementary-age children a challenging academic program featuring small classes, leadership opportunities, and a nurturing family-like environment based upon the foundation of Judeo-Christian scripture. Graduates of The Carver Academy will be prepared for success in the nation’s most competitive high schools and will display the highest levels of leadership, discipline, initiative and integrity. The Carver Academy welcomes all children regardless of race, creed or financial status.
