Andrew Carnegie


The hubby wrote a very interesting 1,500 word article on Andrew Carnegie for Reality Check. He has since whittled it down to 1,100 words. It will be available (via reality Check and his blog) in late March. It's well worth the read, regardless of the word count. Title: Profile in Humanism: Andrew Carnegie. If you can't wait the 3-4 weeks for the article, here are some links should you be so inclined to learn more about the man:

I did not realize what an extraordinary man Carnegie was. His fame still lingers today, but his good deeds (colleges, endowments, libraries, etc.) also still preserve.
