No good deed goes unpunished.

Back in the '90's, Aaron Feurstein made national and even international news when he rebuilt his family's textile mill when it burned down, instead of taking the insurance money and retiring or rebuilding in the South, as many textile manufacturers from New England were doing at the time. I remember hearing about this back then. But I never heard what happened later, until I ran across this.
