Local car club donates $10k to vet memorial
AZLE — A local car show had a follow-up to remember after club members donated $10,000 to the building of a Vietnam veterans memorial. A general meeting and check presentation were held April 30 at CJ’s Café in Azle by the Silver Dollar Classics Car Club. Chuck “Cuda” Matthews, former club president, thanked members and told the story of Albrecht Dürer, creator of the famous painting “Praying Hands.” According to Matthews’ story, Dürer was given a chance to attend an art institute when his brother went to work in the coal mines to support his family. After great success, Dürer wanted to give his brother the chance to learn art at the institute, but by then his hands had been too damaged to paint fine details with a brush. Dürer would go on to paint his brother’s hands as a tribute to his sacrifice.
