When I worked at Book City Hollywood, my boss Alan Siegel told me that whatever John gets from the city is more like a donation rather than an actual paycheck, and he's been polishing the stars for much longer than since 1999....believe me, if anyone should know about the history of the street folk in the area, it's Alan. He was as much of as a Hollywood institution as you could get and knew just about everyone there was to know. He helped out John financially (as alot of the local merchants did) and even allowed him to recieve his mail at our address, so I and my fellow employees had alot of contact with him.

There will be a lot of people who will forget to tell you that...so when they forget, or their words and actions say something different. May you reflect back on the sayings of Jesus.... Matthew 25:23 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' When I watched the vlog...I saw you empowering people that society has chosen to forget about...or would like to. During some of the interviews...you could actually see them begin to stand a little taller. That is truly what the LOVE of God is all about. Blessings to YOU Julie Mark…I’m proud of you for making a difference….
