Groner Grace grew up in a difficult economic climate - the Great Depression. But unlike most of his peers, Grace has managed to store away 7 million, and that luck is intact to help many young people in their community for education. Like many of his peers, he learned to live frugally.
His room in a house in Lake Forest, Ill., had a few pieces of simple furniture, kitchenware, correspondents and a television that was decades old itself. If you met Grace Groner, than I had thought it was a rich woman. Walk instead of driving. He earned his clothes bazaars.
Groner is a very lucky stock $ 180 in 1935. 75 years later, worth $ 7 million and put the money in the Lake Forest College to help students find opportunities in a time of opportunity is becoming increasingly difficult to find. "Oh, my God," was the reply of the President.
75% of Lake Forest student body is on financial aid, if this unexpected gift of grace will give them many opportunities to see the world and get a better job more exciting than ever would have expected. His house was also given to the university and used for housing for women who receive scholarships from the Foundation. It will be called House of Grace. .
