| John Frasca said
this about Mr. Turner, "He can't spell philanthropist, but he's
one of the few genuine philanthropists in the world. He gave
money to those in need even before he had enough to share. His
giving increased as his wealth grew. He didn't wait to
accumulate a fortune to give a portion of it to charity, or to
buy his way into Heaven." |
