When I was in New York in 1968 doing a forest inventory, some of our plots fell on the land of a wealthy lady. We found her out picking up beer cans along the lane to the estate house and asked permission to enter her land. At first she was reticent until she found out we were the good guys. She then took us on a tour of the place, which included a very large barn for her horses, including some that her daughter rode in the Olympics. That barn was brighter and cleaner than most people's houses, and had a crystal chandelier in the stall area. Very nice lady. She gave my assistant a bunch of fly-tying gear from her late husband's desk and invited us back to use her canoe on her private lake, which we did. She was not the wealthiest person we ran into on that project, but was the only one to have a crystal chandelier in the barn and the only one who picked up other people's beer cans.
