Reply to TIL Sheriff Jordan, the leader of the posse that killed Bonnie & Clyde, attempted to keep the stolen car in which they were ambushed and shot to death. The car's legal owner sued the Sheriff for possession of the car then drove it to Shreveport, still covered with blood & human tissue. by Shark-Farts

There is a letter in a museum in Sulphur Louisiana from their friend that turned them in for the reward. It was hand written and said where they would be found near Shreveport. All I remember. I read it ages and ages ago.

I get how it looks at first blush. Take a moment.

It is Art for Art’s sake. The cool thing is that he himself is not creating it. The art supplies and craftsmen (people) are actually fueling creation, the arts, and paychecks for a lot of talented people. These people would otherwise not have this cool thing to be part of - and create.

He could be like another billionaire and just keep his money tied up in stocks. That is “Money for Money’s sake” - and really doesn’t enrich or employ anyone.

It doesn’t have to be soup kitchens to be philanthropic, really. If I could leave a unique creation that could have echos through time, I would do it.

Frank Lloyd Wright was based in two different locations in the US. The schools of thought… The talented, trained teams that worked and learned from him still carry traits from his work even generations later- frequently in the same families.

Echoes into the future.

This is very helpful. I liked Exeter too with all the research. All you others.. Please don’t downvote a regular guy stressed already with a life change. The choices will affect my 4 kids and generations. Being a thoughtful father should not be a bad thing. Life is hard, yo.

I am kind of doing the identical thing but from another state. Reading ALLLLLL ABOUT New Hampshire. Concord and Nashua and their out lying areas are what we will be checking out. Not sure about driving to Manch from Portsmouth. Is that done by the locals? Seems like winter could dissuade a reasonable person from driving that far ever my day?
