5. Growing up in Pittsburgh, I was always grateful for Carnegie's influence

on the city--a lot of what Pittsburgh is today was due to him (and Mellon, and Frick). Wealthy robber barons maybe, and not sympathetic to their millworkers, but they certainly repaired their legacies with philanthropy. Will always cherish my memories as a Pitt student, cutting class to stroll through the Carnegie Library and Museum--I salute you, Andrew Carnegie.
