FCS Financial: One Hundred Years July 2016 | Page 11

Acknowledgments
It has been both a pleasure and an honor to have been given the opportunity to
help preserve the history of FCS Financial, the dedicated people who worked
there in the past as well as today, and the customer-members they serve. My part
in this project could never have been accomplished without the help of many
people I’d like to thank.
First of all I’d like to thank Scott Gardner and Amy Wieberg who initiated
the project and went about the task of gathering boxes full of information and
memorabilia, along with those who saved all those treasures through the years.
I very much appreciate those who gave their valuable time to this project,
imparting their knowledge, answering questions, and sharing their memories and
stories. Among them were past and present FCS Financial employees:
Randy Beckemeier
Joyce Borgmeyer
Donna Copenhaver
Rick Derks
Tera Dover
Scott Gardner
Sarah Gehring
Bob Idel
Gary Irwin

David Janish
Kate Lambert
Chad McCullough
Daryl Oldvader
Donna Patterson
Darrell Skipper
Amy Wieberg
Gary Wrye

Past and Present Board Members:
Mike Calton
Meredith Kapp
James Nivens
Jim Zerr

And Customer-Members:

I hope you will enjoy learning more about FCS Financial’s history and in it you
will find an even greater appreciation for the dedication and hard work of those
who helped build it and those who stand poised to take it into the future.
Sincerely,
Pat Swinger
