The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?"

“It’s a hundred miles of roads, 22 bodies of water, a lot of mountaintops,” Hendrickson said. “It’s two and a half times the size of Manhattan. It’s 70 Monacos. It’s hard to get your hands around it.”

If approved by the Adirondack Park Agency, the sale could bring in up to $238 million. That’s $58 million more than the original overall asking price of $180 million.

Marylou Whitney was the largest private landowner in the state of New York by owning Whitney Park.

Mary Louise Schroeder was born in Kansas City, Missouri, the youngest of four children of Marie Jean (Carr) and Harry Robert Schroeder, a bank officer and accountant.

In 1948, she married Frank Hosford, the heir to the John Deere fortune. ... After they divorced, Marylou married C.V. Whitney in 1958. They had one daughter, Cornelia. C.V. Whitney died in 1992, leaving Marylou with an estate estimated at $100 million.

In October 1997, Marylou married John Francis Hendrickson (born 1965), a (then) 32-year-old tennis champion and former aide to Governor Wally Hickel of Alaska, who was nearly 40 years her junior. Hendrickson proposed at Buckingham Palace.
