Wrong About Build Lakewood - My Bad

I had mentioned that Build Lakewood predates Save Lakewood Hospital.
This morning I had a splendid coffee with Jeff Rohr, the founder and website master for
"Build Lakewood" but was not speaking on their behalf.
In the one hour conversation, which was great fun, he said I had my dates wrong on the
start up of "Build Lakewood."
As the image has been cropped, document date is inconsistent, I have no reason to doubt him.
So in our effort to put the truth out there, my bad, I WAS WRONG..

Can someone tell me who is this Jeff Rohr? Never heard of him? Has he been on any civic boards or committees in Lakewood? That name just appeared out of the blue! What prompted his involvement in Build Lakewood?

Jeff Rohr was not speaking on behalf of Build Lakewood during our conversation.
He has been a resident of Lakewood for 16 years I think he said. Background in tech, websites, marketing,
and is a lawyer to boot.
He said he was prompted to do something as he saw us losing a community asset, and wanted to make sure
that what comes next is the right thing for Lakewood.
His belief was that it is inevitable. I reminded him and Brian Essi who stopped in to buy bread, towards the end
of the conversation, that the city stopped the WestEnd, took away Eminent Domain, saved Grant School, and
told the Vatican to keep St. James open. When the residents in this city are motivated, anything is possible.

You mean you were wrong about when the site was launched?
I don't really understand what that graphic means.
Please clarify. Thanks.
