Ray,

Seems that when someone does the right thing, it is best not to let one's 
greedy relatives know what you are doing. George Washington freed his slaves 
on his death, but it wasn't known til he was gone. Carter III freed his 
slaves during his lifetime and his relatives tried to have him declared 
insane. And George Wythe lost his life for his conscience. Know of any other 
rightous folks who were tormented by greedy heirs for their attempt at 
humanity???
