This old boy lived on potatoes and raised Pounds 125,000 for guide dogs for the blind

A sculpture celebrating the life and charitable work of a Cambridge (UK) "eccentric" has been installed.

The Snowy Farr memorial was created in recognition of the £125,000 he raised for charities for the blind.

"Snowy", whose real name was Walter Farr, entertained shoppers by busking, accompanied by mice and a cat which sat on his top hat. He died penniless in 2007, aged 89.

He got it right, as soon as you die, you do not own a thing. And he now lives perpetually on a Free Republic post.
