    A frugal legal secretary from Brooklyn, who rode the subway to one law firm for 67 years, quietly amassed a fortune. At 96, she left $8 million for college scholarships.https://nyti.ms/2FPCtuw

        #RIP Sylvia Bloom, because of your frugality and your humility, you left the world a better place than you found it. What better legacy could one ask for...

        “Ms. Bloom, who never had children of her own, was born to eastern European immigrants and grew up in Brooklyn during the Great Depression. She attended public schools, including Hunter College where she completed her degree at night while working days to make ends meet.”

        Very special woman Sylvia Bloom. But what’s also interesting is her husband who was a retired city firefighter who then became a city school teacher with a pharmacist career on the side. 😲 These were hard working people from generations before.

        Jeff Bezos makes that in a little over a half and hour. Probably took her longer to ride the subway.

        Hmmmm. Interesting point. Did anyone at NYT vet this piece? I'm a fan NYT, but I wonder how she did that given rent and Subway fares

        Did you READ the piece. It tells how she made her money. Twitter excels at allowing ignorant people to out themselves.
