Arthur C. Newby's Obituary

Arthur C. Newby's obituary in the Indianapolis News is chock-full of information about the man. His nickname, "the quiet philanthropist" was well earned. Note his $100,000 gift to Riley Children's Hospital and how he stepped in to save Turkey Run State Park from encroaching development. He housed and fed the homeless, but no one knows how many hundreds he saved because he didn't seek publicity for his efforts. Constantly combating ill health, my guess is Art Newby was the most likeable of the four founders. Perhaps most amazing of all, Newby was a guy with a big heart that could successfully swim with so many sharks.
