JIMB -Last month on the way back from Ft Benning, I stopped in Cobb's
hometown of Royston GA to visit the Ty Cobb museum, it was located inside the Cobb Memorial Hospital.
In the museum brochure it states...
"But few knew the story of how Cobb used his wealth to establish the Cobb Memorial Hospital in Royston, which is now one of the crown jewels of an integrated rural healthcare system which serves thousands of patients annually throughout northeast Georgia. He also earmarked one-quarter of his significant income to set up the Cobb Schorlarship Fund, which now helps send more than 100 Georgians to college each year....
Thats pretty impressive that both are going strong 45 years after his death...jay
