I know I did one about his son, so I figured I would follow up with a fun fact sheet about the father: George Lindemann Sr. There is a scholarship fund out there in his name.

Why?

Well he is a billionaire with much influence. He created contact lenses, built a cable television empire, built a cell phone business, and now his family has a large percentage of a natural gas company as well as a large part of Verizon Communications. Each of his businesses was sold to a larger company at one point for an exorbitant sum of money. They now are among the ten billionaires that reside in Florida. The man was a pariah.
