Am I thinking of a different founder?  Haggerty died in 1980.  Not that his family couldn't still be giving, but seems like they'd have other priorities.

Yeah, I kinda thought about the Texas Instruments founder. Maybe it was the crazy guy with the question marks on his suit and those sweet "government wants to give you money" books.

Matthew Lesko, I've actually him around town (DC) a couple times.  His car has question marks all over it too.

I dont care who it's from, I'm just glad we're getting a new building...olin/haggerty is functional but something more state of the art is definitely nice to see.
