Hunt Family Foundation gives $1.5K to Good Hope parks in memory of longtime parks director

GOOD HOPE, Ala. – Some men build things you can see. Ball fields. Pools. Parks where the grass is cut just right and the lights come on at dusk. And some men build things you can’t see quite so easily. A kindness that gets passed along. A habit of showing up. A belief that every child deserves a place to play. John E. Hunt built both. On Monday evening, nearly six years after his passing, his legacy walked into Good Hope City Hall once more. Elizabeth Hunt, John’s wife, attended the Good Hope City Council’s regular meeting Nov. 9, on behalf of the Hunt Family Foundation. She came bearing a gift: a $1,500 donation to the parks, to be used for scholarships and equipment. It was a quiet moment, the kind that doesn’t take long on a meeting agenda. But for those in the room who knew John, it carried a great deal of weight. Among them was Good Hope City Clerk Christie Chamblee, who once worked under John Hunt. The man behind the fields For more than 22 years, John Hunt served as director of the City of Cullman Parks, Recreation & Sports Tourism department. Under his watch, the
