Eugene B. Casey, a Maryland philanthropist and builder who served the Franklin Roosevelt administration as farm policy adviser, died Tuesday, July 29, 1986. He was 82. Casey died at his home in Potomac, Maryland.
Casey was director of the Farm Credit Admininstration from 1940 to 1941 and also served as an agricultural adviser to the Roosevelt White House. In the 1950s and 1960s, he built homes in the Rockville-Gaithersburg, Maryland area of suburban Washington, D.C.
A philanthropist, he provided the government with the property and buildings for use in the research that led to the development of the Salk polio vaccine. He also financed the restoration of Red Hill, the last home and burial place of Revolutionary War figure Patrick Henry in Brookneal, Virginia.
Services are scheduled for Friday, with burial in Arlington National Cemetery. He is survived by his wife, 6 children and 11 grandchildren.

UPDATE 2:44PM CST:
Patty from the Eugene B. Casey Foundation called me back and issued this statement:
“The Eugene B. Casey Foundation believes freedom of speech is a basic right of every citizen of this country. The purchase of the smear letter was to demonstrate their belief in this right and to support Rush Limbaugh, his views, and his continued education of us.”
Bettyc558 was the lucky (and generous) winner of the now famous letter with a whopping $2,100,100.00.
Betty Casey is the Washington National Opera Life Chairman and a loyal Rush listener.
Drudge has a excerpt from the show:
Our winning bidder, subject to the receipt of funds… is a wonderful woman named Betty Casey, as trustee of the Eugene B. Casey Foundation. She gives significant sums to hospitals, hospices, colleges, and private schools. These include the Eugene B. Casey Diabetes Education Center, The Eugene B. Casey Swim Center and the Eugene B. Casey Academic Center , and The Casey Home hospice. She has also donated tens of millions from the foundation and her personal funds to the Washington Opera.
Betty has been a listener to my program since it’s inception, and we can’t thank her enough for her support. We’d also like to thank Ebay Giving Works for allowing us to break their website in the closing moments of the auction, and Auction Cause, who was our consultant in prequalifying bidders and developing the auction
Nothing but style. Nice.

Teddy could auction off his black book and his bloody mary recipe.
Very cool...
This is one of the best turn an evil into something good stories I’ve ever seen.
this is nice, but who wants that traitor’s crap inside the house of one of the founders of our country? Instead he should put it in a rest stop in New Jersey.
That is SOOOOOOOO perfect!
No. Harry Reid is just a dick.
They say that their job is to "report the news in a professional, objective manner." That's what they say, but what their job actually is is to hype their own blarney. And saying that they are objective is just part of the blarney, having nothing to do with reality.
Funny!
Keep Sandy Burglar out of Patrick Henry’s house.
Teddy could auction off his black book and his bloody maryjo recipe.

Maybe it is the most valuable letter of all time. Has anyone seen a letter that was auctioned for more?
Sir Isaac Newton's manuscript on the theory of gravity did not come close
Napoleon's letter to Josephine could not beat Rush.
