A guest columnist who witnessed John Lowndes' rise to prominence, the son of his business partner, says the lawyer and philanthropist was one of the most honorable men he ever met.
John Lowndes’ name is over the entrance of the Loch Haven Park building that houses Orlando Shakes, but that wasn’t important to him.“He never cared about getting credit, the credit always went to someone else,” said Orlando Shakes artistic director Jim Helsinger. “That was one of the nice things about John. It was part of his Southern charm.”
