There's more detail at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Rance_Corporation" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>:<br /><br />"Begun in the early 1950s by Harry G. John, a grandson of Miller Brewing founder Frederick Miller, De Rance [Corporation] was at one time worth $188 million. In 1983-1984, the charity's value plummeted to $83 million as a result of Harry John's questionable expenditures and investments of its assets. John's wife, Erica, and Dr. Donald Gallagher, two of the three foundation directors, subsequently sued to have John removed as a De Rance director. Harry John was found guilty of gross mismanagement and was permanently removed from the De Rance board in August, 1986.<br /><br />"When Harry John died in 1992, the De Rance board voted to award $30 million of the charity's $100 million in assets to several of John's favorite causes. The remaining $70 million was used to create a new charitable organization, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee Supporting Fund. The fund was further renamed in 2009 as the Erica P. John Fund and reportedly contributes around $600,000 annually to the archdiocese. ..."Terrence Berreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02867275234105879358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-26275899382405767952015-04-01T22:09:05.184-05:002015-04-01T22:09:05.184-05:00Wasn't the "supporting fund" Harry J...Wasn't the "supporting fund" Harry John's money as administered by his widow and daughter?Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4531248303954963098.post-13193549408138422972015-04-01T21:13:49.207-05:002015-04-01T21:13:49.207-05:00The officials of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee are ...The officials of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee are so out of it, they do not understand the umbrage of the people at any reference to Weakland.
