In still more Dick Hayne news, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on Dec. 30 that he will receive the 2011 Edward Powell Award, and its $100,000 prize, "for contributions to Philadelphia's economic prosperity."
Says the Inquirer: "The award is granted every four years to a Philadelphia business leader in honor of Powell, a European immigrant who established a knitting mill in the city's Fairmount section."
Mr. Hayne, the billionaire founder of Urban Outfitters, will receive the award at the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce's annual luncheon Feb. 6.
(Thanks to a sharp-eyed friend for spotting this story in the Inquirer's business section.)
