As far as investments you can always go to Kickstarter and see thousands of ideas people have for new businesses and help them out. Nothing is safe in this world
He is quite generous. After all, he did set up the $3M charitable remainder trust. He donated what it took to establish a park to his community; he supports its symphony, his church and his alma maters, the University of New Mexico and Stanford. His postcard collection which is huge and concentrates on historic Route 66 will go to the Zimmerman Library at UNM upon his death. He has a surgeon daughter and an attorney son so no needs there or for his grandchildren.
