TUESDAY DAILY



THE MAQUOKETA STATE BANK STAFF HAD A CELEBRATION THIS MORNING
FOR DAVE JOHNSON.....HONORING HIM FOR 50 YEARS IN BANKING.
HE STARTED AS A BANKER AT THE ANDREW SAVINGS BANK ON MONDAY APRIL 10TH,1967.
HE THEN STARTED AT THE MAQUOKETA STATE BANK ON MONDAY, APRIL 10TH, 1972.
HIS ACTUAL 50TH ANNIVERSARY DATE WAS MONDAY, APRIL 10, 2017.
IRONIC THAT APRIL 10TH ALL 3 TIMES WAS ON A MONDAY.
HE HAS BEEN A LOAN OFFICER ALL HIS LIFE.
HE GREW UP IN THE LaCROSSE, WISCONSIN AREA.
PRIOR TO 1967, HE WAS WITH THORP CREDIT OF WISCONSIN AND WAS
MANAGER OF THEIR MAQUOKETA OFFICE ON EAST PLATT STREET, UNTIL
GONG TO THE ANDREW BANK.   THAT THORP OFFICE CLOSED YEARS LATER.
TODAY, HE DRESSES UP NICE ON MONDAYS AND TUESDAYS TO WORK
PART TIME FOR MAQUOKETA STATE BANK.    HE LOOKS PRETTY DARN
GOOD IN THE  PHOTO ABOVE, BUT DOES NOT LOOK THAT GOOD IN PERSON.
HE LIKES TO HUNT AND PLAY (TRYS) GOLF.    HIS WIFE SHARON DIED
A FEW YEARS AGO OF CANCER.    HE DATES A NICE LADY NAMED LOIS
FROM LaCROSSE.   HE HAS A DAUGHTER AND SON, BOTH LIVING IN
IOWA.    MAQUOKETA IS KNOWN AS A "ONE OF A KIND" TOWN...AND
DAVE IS ONE OF THOSE.    CONGRATULATIONS DAVID!    HE'S BEEN A
GOOD FRIEND SINCE THE SIXTIES AND HAS BEEN A GOOD BANKER, EVEN
DURING THOSE VERY-HIGH "INTEREST" YEARS.
