Visited a gorgeous nature preserve in NE Harbor, ME today and a woman admiring the view told us, “We always say a little thanks to Mr. Rockefeller.” We can argue Rocky’s worth in biz/politics/philanthropy, but no one’s ever going to thank Mr. Musk or Mr. Bezos for giving people something beautiful.

One evening during freshman orientation week in 1979, our resident advisor took our whole floor of nerds to South Street to see Rocky Horror at the Theater of the Living Arts (and then next door for cheesesteaks). Transformative and top-notch orientation.
