Milton S. Hershey, founded a home for orphaned boys in Hershey, Pennsylvania. He built a chocolate empire and was one of the most generous people ever !
He married but he and his wife were unable to bear children. Thus forming an orphanage for boys and girls, free of charge. Even today a portion of every chocolate bar price goes to keep the Orphanage going. He bought homes for his employees, Grande estates we seen when we visited there.
James Dean. Rebel without a cause, East of Eden and Giant. 3 films in 1954-55, made James Dean a legend. Too fast to live, to young to die ! He died in a fiery crash on Route 5 on the California coast. Margie and I visited his hometons of marion and Fairmount, Indiana a couple years ago. He lived with his Uncle and Aunt. And down the street from their home, where he also went to High School, is a graveyard with its most famous grave.
