Jane M. Buri, a public school social worker, spent nearly four decades fighting to keep kids in class.
She tracked students to their homes, found them shoes, meals, jackets, and returned the truants to their teachers. She never married, never had children, never missed a day of work.
All the while, she was quietly building a small fortune. Buri died at 84 with $1.4 million to her name.
Then in death, as befit her life, she gave it all away. More here.
