Re: INTERESTING LIVES and INTERESTING FACTS
A GREAT DEBT
**During forty-seven years of intermittent government service, Herbert
Hoover turned all of his federal salary checks over to charitable causes
and institutions, including his 20,000$ annual pension as a former
President. He made his fortune as **
**a mining engineer early in his career. **
He has given away all his governmental income, he once explained,
to acknowledge "a great debt" to his country for the many advantages and opportunities that it has conferred upon him.
