[edit] Medical Center

I don't have the time to find "verifiable" info on this, but Milton Hershey did not build the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. The Hershey Trust Co. used the M.S. Hershey Foundation as a conduit to donate the money. It was built well after Milton Hershey's death. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.254.198.242 (talk) 01:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

The Hershey Company's major owner is the Hershey Trust Co., who controls the assets of the Milton Hershey School, the school Milton Hershey founded. The remainder of the stock is publicly held. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.254.198.242 (talk) 01:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, what's going on now would be really, really nice, especially for those of us who have to do SCHOOL REPORTS on him and the company. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.206.107.229 (talk) 17:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category Jewish Americans

I would delete this since it was not sourced. Any thoughts? Thanks--Tom 02:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

He isn't Jewish at all. Mennonite Germanic and the like. The category was just added by that anon who is trying to muscle up the "Jewish American businesspeople" list for his own special reasons, no doubt. I removed the Swiss and German categories also. Although they are likely true, they were unsourced. And besides, the Hersheys have been in the US for a couple of generations before Milton's birth. Mad Jack 06:47, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
