What would Milton do ?
Milton Hershey's rock star status lingers in his namesake village partly because his influence didn't stop when he died in 1945.
The trust he left to educate underprivileged children has ballooned to several billion dollars, and the Milton Hershey School in Derry Twp. is increasing to a record-high enrollment of 1,700.
The trust gave $50 million to build the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, which employs thousands of people. Large swaths of land controlled by the trust have resisted the development of strip malls and hotels.
It was almost automatic for him to devote himself to others
"Milton still really matters a lot," said Michael D'Antonio, author of "Hershey: Milton S. Hershey's Extraordinary Life of Wealth, Empire and Utopian Dreams."
Evidently not enough !!

Hershey spokesman Kirk Saville said in a message that he had no details on who would attend the meeting on behalf of the company, or what they were prepared to discuss.
The company, he said in a statement, is "committed to working with government and community leaders to assist our employees and the community with this transition."
Pupatello (Minister of Economic Development and Trade)also revealed she travelled to Pennsylvania last week to meet company officials.
In a cryptic comment, she told the legislature, "I spent two hours with the leadership at Hershey in Pennsylvania on Friday. They made it very clear what their future is as a company."
Ummm ... that doesn't sound so cryptic to me ....
