COMMENTS:From James Houston Turner "Big John"
  • As he grew into manhood he became a man of many talents. Mt. Pleasant was an artist on the piano, a great lover of music. He was modest in conversation about athletics but through careful dedicated training he reached a rare state of perfection to become an athlete of world renown. It was said he could excel at any game requiring mental and physical strength.
