When donors want their gift back - March 19, 2007: "It is a sign of poor relations between donor and charity when the donor's heir takes a hacksaw to the charity's filing cabinets.
But it happened, said a curator at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in New Brunswick, Canada: He told the story at a recent arbitration hearing that will determine who owns about $90 million in paintings. The case has degenerated into a he-said, no-he-didn't fray between the heirs of Canadian-born British newspaper magnate Sir William Maxwell Aitken, known as Lord Beaverbrook, and the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, which he founded in 1958."
