John Peter Koster Jr.

This is so sad. He was a very nice man, and quite a character. The articles he wrote for the Villadom Times did not spare any politician. He went after Paul Aronsohn, Gwenn Hauck, and that whole crew with regularity. Unlike some "news" organizations that can be swayed by pressure from politicians, John was not for sale.

In the front of one of the books he authored is a quote that I copied and wrote onto a paper that has hung in my kitchen for years: " ...for there is no more difficult obstacle to overcome than that of the closed mind."

Rest in peace, John
