John's speaking style I have always found lackluster, kind of sing-song. He is a really bright guy. I am not so familiar with what he does with the Fairfield community now. I did know him a little bit, long ago, and remember mostly the fiery Margaret fuming over him while he mostly ignored her as he typed away on a computer. I think some acting lessons might help his speaking image.
