Winner of Boat Hands Over Keys to Less Fortunate Fisherman
Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but give a man a new bass boat you've just won, and everyone will give you a standing ovation.
Teacher Violet Laack has allocated funds from her estate, worth $1 Million, to the students of Calumet County, where she taught for fifty years.
This teacher left her students with more than just a love of learning.
Before her recent passing, Violet Laack of Chilton, Wisconsin, allocated all of the funds from her estate–worth about $1 Million–to the students of Calumet County, where she had taught for fifty years.
The money from her estate will be used to set up scholarship funds via the Chilton Area Community Foundation.
Laack may not have had any children of her own, but she made a world of difference in the lives of those she taught.
While she was surprised that Laack was able to accrue so much money, Micke's not the least bit surprised that she would donate it all in the name of education.
