EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – A member of American Eagle FCU won $10,000 in the credit union’ ‘What would you do with 10K’ contest, which she will use to return to her native Switzerland.
In her online post, Frances Miller wrote, "I would return to Switzerland where I worked as a physical therapist in 1964-65. I'd like to renew old acquaintances and feast my eyes again on the Matterhorn, in the Alps, a mountain peak that I climbed to the top of when I was younger -- much younger! I know my heart would 'yodel' at the very opportunity. If anything was left over, I'd paint and paint, a hobby over which I am passionate."
Miller was selected randomly from approximately 3,000 entries during the American Eagle promotion, held March 9 through April 30, 2009.
Miller said and her husband will use the prize money for a trip to Switzerland later this year.
