MONTICELLO, IOWA Camp Courageous, a year-round camp for individuals with special needs, recently received a donation of a 1966 VW Cabriolet by Michael Verst of Union, Kentucky, in honor of his late wife, Karen Verst.
Michael modified the vehicle for Karen and installed an automatic transmission, after she lost a leg to a rare form of bone cancer. The project took eight-years to complete, and was a "real labor of love," according to Michael Verst.
Camp Courageous plans to raffle the car. For more information, story and pictures, go to camp's webpage at: www.campcourageous.org or call 319-465-5916 ext.#2100 or Facebook Page.
