A fact from George Willis Pack appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 January 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
When Pack made his gift to the Vance Monument, there was no mention of the two knowing each other in local newspapers. And Vance did not attend the dedication of the monument. Several decades after Pack died, a newspaper noted that Pack made the gift for the monument because he admired Vance but was not one of those who attended the funeral of Vance. A friendship between the two men is unlikely. When Pack moved to Asheville, Vance lived in Washington, D.C. At this time, Pack also lived in Ohio and Michigan. A couple of years after Pack started spending his winters in Asheville, Vance became ill and traveled to Egypt, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Scotland for his health. Vance them when to Florida—while the Senate was in session, meaning Vance was so ill that he was barely performing his duties as a Senator. While all of this does not rule out a meeting between the two men, it is very unlikely that the two were ever friends. Although one or two sources mention this "friendship", none are contemporary and do not cite sources on this matter. Rublamb (talk) 19:48, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
