1400.0. "DFL 25 M for cat pensions?" by HLIS07::VISSERS (Well what d'ya know...) Tue May 24 1988 09:15

    I heard such a beautiful story....
                                      
    Can anybody from UK tell the whole story of Ben Rea (sp?) ?

    Sorry, don't know what you're talking about!  Have you got any more
    details?

1400.2The best of my knowledgeHLIS07::VISSERSWell what d'ya know...Fri May 27 1988 05:4113
    As good as I have heard it, Ben Rea was UK millionaire who died
    recently and turned out to have written a will wherein he devoted
    his entire inheritance worth Dfl 25,000,000 (some � 6,000,000) to
    cat pensions in the country.
    
    It stirred up some commotion as it seemed but this was out of the
    'gossip' news section of our Teletext (Ceefax ;-)) so I was curious
    about the whole story. Sort of expected to see it already in FELINE
    but since I didn't I decided to ask...
    
    Anyway, must have been a good man!
