Ulitzer95 12,661 Posted October 9 Keeping vandalism and edits of personal tributes off his Wiki page is becoming a mission. If there's any Wiki admins on here, please do lock his page. Lots of stupid Indians editing his page with shite like "He passed away.... RIP #TataBoyz". I suppose he was like a deity to them.

Comped 530 Posted November 25 Harris Rosen, owner and founder of Rosen Hotels (the biggest independent hotel chain in the Orlando area, and no doubt familiar to those of you who have visited Orlando), has died at 85 following complications from a surgery. He received international attention and acclaim, especially on social media, for his philanthropic efforts throughout the region over the last 50 years. Perhaps most notably, he spearheaded, funded, designed, and gave land to, UCF's hospitality school named after himself (which continues to be named as the best or one of the best in the world in the subject, and in which he was heavily involved up to his death). Personally this was a rather hard post to write for me because I'm an alumni (twice over) of his school and a very close friend of his was my mentor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
