...yes, that is so, and why I personally regarded him highly. Schooling in a country school just up the road, and off to adventures (he worked for), made it big, then walked away having the clear sense he was making perverse income on things "people didn't need". He placed his funds where they could protect the future of many in an area ripe for the raping by the logging industry and fish farms. Like anyone with clear understanding of the interconnectedness of life going forward he was controversial...but well worth getting to know something of his story. [speaking only for myself of course]
