If I had a pile of old money I'd build an indoor velodrome to support track cycling, and I'd name it the Williams-Casper velodrome after Bob Williams (a great advocate of track racing at the old outdoor velodrome in Blaine) and Dan Casper (a former St. Paul firefighter and multiple world master track cycling champion).
I'd give The Loft or the University of Minnesota an endowment to support the development and publication of Minnesota & Midwestern fiction.
Minnesota has always had its share of uberrich, but not until this latest generation have so few of them invested in their home state or continued its philanthrophic traditions.

I love those ideas!

I agree!
