Janitor's Endowment

Janitor's Endowment
When Genesio Morlacci left $2.3 million to a small college, many people were astonished at the wealth amassed by a man who operated a dry-cleaning shop and later worked as a part-time janitor in retirement. Morlacci died last month at age 102 and left the University of Great Falls with an endowment that will generate roughly $100,000 a year in student scholarships.
