That's not at all what happened; please, let's not write such things

Allen was a man dying of cancer. LCM+L was important to him, but he
neglected to leave explicit instructions to set up an endowment for
it; that's unfortunate, but it was an oversight: he had other

has suggested that he "instructed his heirs to dismantle it upon his
death."
