Embarrassing that it needed to be written.

Necessary anyway.

PART 44 — THE FOUNDATION IDEA

I did not wake one morning and transfer half the company into a charity.

That would have been irresponsible.

Instead, over two years, with tax, estate, and corporate counsel, I created the Martha Barrett Foundation.

Funded initially with cash and a minority non-controlling interest in the company.

Its mission:

Vocational training.

Supply-chain education.
