Friday Fun Thing: Carnegie Quote

A friend (thanks, Janice!) brought to my attention a news item in the Princeton Alumni Weekly for May 10, 2006, entitled, ‘Loch’ Carnegie marks 100 years.

Why is this a Friday fun thing, you might ask? As my friend remarked: "How soon they forget!"

The salient quote?

Kenneth Miller ’72, a great-grandson of Andrew Carnegie, recalled skating on the lake as a boy of 3. He said Carnegie’s philanthropy is a lasting legacy, telling of a friend who had remarked, “I can’t figure out how he made so much money, owning a chain of libraries.”
