Virgil Pollock, general campaign chairman of the McHenry hospital expansion program campaign, upon hearing the results of the hospital division campaign, stated, "I am overwhelmed by the spirit and generosity of every member of the hospital family. When I asked them, on behalf of the hospital's board of directors, to participate and 'show the way' for the rest of the community, I had no idea that they would oversubscribe their goals." "This is wonderful," he continued, "and argues wel for the success of the campaign." Next week we will initiate the area and community- wide campaign," he related, "and we hope that the general public will respond in the same manner as the 'hospital family.'
