Hilton Wick

Hilton Addison Wick (February 11, 1920 – March 17, 2006) was an American politician and Vermont Senator.

After serving in World War II, he graduated from Maryville College and Harvard Law School Harvard, and in 1949 he moved to Vermont with his wife Barbara Shaw.

His role as a community leader and charitable fundraiser helped to launch his political career.

In 1984, he opposed Vermont Attorney General John Easton, Jr. for the Republican nomination in the 1984 Vermont gubernatorial election, but lost the nomination to Easton.

In Vermont his name became proverbial for charitable fundraising, and the Hilton Wick Award, which is an annual award honoring persons who have engaged in charitable activities, is named after him.
