[QUOTE="Raido Free America, post: 3796242, member: 45328"] In my 76 years of observing human behavior, the people that have a great deal of money, don't care what people think, and in some cases would rather have people think they are poor! Charles Page, the founder of the City of Sand Springs, OK. and the foundation that still provides for widows, and orphans, and has for over 100 years, with no GOVERNMENT MONEY, was at one time back in the 1920's the third richest man in Oklahoma! There was a lot of wealthy oil men in Oklahoma at that time, the Phillips brothers, Getty, Hunt, Marlan, Gilcrese, etc. He took all the kids from the orphan home, on a trip to California. he rented two private rail cars, and took several staff members to take care of the kids. His lawyer went as well. He was a daper dresser, and good looking guy, where Charles Page, was older, over weight, and a sloppy dresser. They had rooms reserved at a some high end hotel, and the desk clerk looked Mr Page, and his lawyer over, and gave his lawyer the suite of rooms reserved for Mr Page and his wife, gave Mr Page the room reserved for his lawyer! He just let this slide, and when check out time came, he handed his lawyer the hotel bill! He apperently had a good sense of humor, and was not intrested in impressing anyone! There is a book about Charles Page, avalable at the Sand Springs Museum, written by a lady that was raised at the orphans home, since age 2, I think? She was 100 years old the last time I saw her a few years ago, selling her book at a flea market. The name of this book is " a Fools Enterprise"! A very interesting, and little known, part of our history! [/QUOTE]
