The factual material and the philosophy of this volume will be old stuff for you, who saw Fred Goff lead me by the hand. Perhaps John Dough's adventures will please and amuse you. I sincerely hope so. A R Horr Cleveland Dec. 20, 1945. Alfred Reuel Horr was an American banker and a member Cleveland Chamber of Commerce (past president). Fred Goff was legendary. During the first few decades of the 20th century, Frederick Harris Goff was one of Cleveland’s most prominent and beloved citizens. He was also a national intellectual treasure but his name is not well known among most 21st-century Americans or even among Clevelanders. Goff introduced a service called a “living trust” for persons who desired, while still alive, to implement inheritance plans for their families. Goff, like his better-known contemporaries Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller, changed philanthropy forever, here and around the world. He helped establish The Cleveland Foundation. As more and more citizens across the globe adopt and adapt Goff’s concept of pooling their charitable assets to create a permanent vehicle for addressing pressing local needs, his humanitarian legacy burns ever brighter.
