[edit] Charles Huffman

Did this really happen or is it a hoax? Googling proved to be unsatisfactory in this particular case. The article reads, in full: "Charles Huffman was a miser from the 1950s. He was found dead on a Brooklyn, New York street with no money in his pockets. The police traced him to a $7/week room that was filled with bank books and more than $500,000 in stock certificates." End of article. As it stands, why is this of interest and how does this make one notable enough for inclusion? GRider\^talk 19:26, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Attested to in New York Times article cited herein, but I a not convinced of notoriety, particularly as this appears to be all of the information that the world will ever know about this person. Or is that a reason for inclusion? Hmmm. Delete for now. HyperZonk^talk 20:11, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
• It's not on Snopes.com which does rather limit the credibility of this urban legend. Delete Radiant! 22:17, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
