First of all, I do not believe this is the type of story that should appear on the front page of a reputable newspaper, complete with a mug shot. Dr. Bill Trout has been an invaluable member of the Richmond Hill community ever since I first met him as a dental patient in 1990. He had a vision to put Richmond Hill on the map by creating a "Downtown Community" for residents to come together for concerts, movies, Christmas celebrations, rather than have to drive to Savannah to experience "culture." While he could have cut corners to throw up another "strip mall" that probably could have brought in more money quicker, he wanted to create a vibrant downtown community for Richmond Hill. Unfortunately, just as these buildings were put up and ready for tenants, our country experienced a huge contraction in the real estate market specifically and the overall economy in general. As I was the bookkeeper for Dr. Bill Trout for 1 and a half years, I personally saw that Dr. Bill Trout DID NOT live an extravagant lifestyle. He put all of his money into The Station Xchange development as well as private school for his three sons to have the best education possible. This generous man also was good to the people who worked for him, leasing cars for his employees at his dental office as well as having Christmas parties for his employees and spending money that he did not have.
