He was a reclusive and mysterious millionaire.He lived in a shack and cared for a pack of nearly wild dogs. He loved writing poetry, gardening, playing the piano and collecting things. To this day the John Moffitt Foundation annually donates as much as $150,000 to local and international charitable organizations. When he was alive the donations ended whenever a recipient did not honor his anonymity."--Mike Mercker ; dustjacket spine sunned, else FINE/VG. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4913
