There are multiple buildings and the honors school named after him - Edward L. Hutton. He passed away in 2009 and, yes, he is the biggest benefactor in IU’s history.

His companies really took a turn for the worse after he passed. Omnicare's been sued by the feds for over 100 million.

Mr. Hutton founded 2 Fortune 500 companies. After he passed away, CHE stock went from approximately $16 per share (pre-split) to $481 per share (pre-pandemic). CHE divested itself of OCR before he passed. A few years ago, it was sold to CVS for $12.5 billion. Kevin McNamara and the senior management team at CHE has performed wonderfully based on the foundation set up by Mr. Hutton.

Wow! I know Kevin well from my previous life (I helped take one of his previous companies public). Are you still in touch with him?

I am retired now from work-a-day life as well as all boards I served on. It’s probably been about a year since I spoke with Kevin.
