j. •?-_ THE ENTERPRISE, ALTA^ NT ^N- V., FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1957 8ECTI0N TWO — PAGE ONE VOORHEESVILLE Vunck Expresses Thanks To My Friends'- My attention has been called to a Letter to the Editor of the Altamont Enterprise, Friday, March 22, 1957 issue urging cash to toe sent to \The George Vunck Fund,\ c/o Voorhees- viMe Savings & Loan. . While I appreciate beyond words the faith and generosity which prompts such a letter and fund, it is not possible for me to accept your money. Such faith as you have indicated is not faith in George W. Vunck but rather your faith in God and I am proud to be a part of a community so dedicated. With such a unanimity of faith, how can this Village of Voorheesville help but grow and prosper? Our thoughts are in the right direction and this gesture on the pant of so many of you is in the right direction, namely to help one another. I have gladly accepted offers on the part of many of the men of this area who have offered time, a truck or piece of equipment to assist in cleaning up the debris resulting from my fire. I take this opportunity to thank you one and all for your kind thoughts and good wishes for me and want everyone to know it is a tre- mendous inspiration to have your good thoughts. With many thanks, GEORGE W. VUNCK Sunday Lenten Speaker Allen W.
