The world would be very different without them. We spent some time at Grey Towers, the blue stone castle that was the summer getaway for Gifford Pinchot. He brought his family money, his connections, and his influence to the role of conservationist. His efforts gave birth to the US forestry service and the beginnings of forest protection and reforestation. Pretty good work. Nope, it’s not bad to have lots of money. Seems like that discussion comes up occasionally in today’s politics. Depends on how you got it and what you do with it.
