PUBLIC FORUM: Fund established for VanCuren family

Anonymous Pharos-Tribune Tue Nov 06, 2012, 06:02 AM EST

On Aug. 23, Dr. Jeffrey Van Curen was critically injured by a falling tree limb. He has been hospitalized since that time, and his recovery period is projected to be quite lengthy.

A fund has been established for his family. The fund will be used to assist the family with the financial responsibility of paying for the ongoing medical treatment of Dr. VanCuren as he recovers from his injuries. The financial responsibility for his medical treatment is overwhelming.

Donations will be accepted through the Logansport Memorial Hospital Foundation. Funds will be held at Logansport Savings Bank.

Checks should be made out to Logansport Memorial Hospital Foundation/VanCuren Fund, 1101 Michigan Ave., Logansport IN 46947. Donations also may be made directly to the VanCuren Fund at Logansport Savings Bank, 723 E. Broadway, Logansport IN 46947.

For additional information, contact me at 574-490-6169. Questions regarding the Logansport Memorial Hospital Foundation should be directed to Vicki Byrd at 574-753-1595.

Julie Byrd, Logansport

WOLFSIE: Writing on the walls
Sometimes when I am trying to think of an idea for my column, I just stare at the wall. That’s not a bad thing, because on the wall in my home office is a collection of special pieces of memorabi-lia that inspire me to write, reminding me of the talented people I have had the privilege to meet.
