On June 8, 2018 we heard from Bill Schmeeckle as he presented his Member Moment.
Bill was born in Omaha and the family moved to Gering while he was in School. He graduated from Kearney State College and started to work in the Savings Bank industry. That is also where he met and married Joyce.
 
In order to keep his career moving up in the bank, he frequently moved to manage branches in various locations around the State. He was in Rotary in Oxford, Alma (a Club that he started), Chadron, Kearney, Omaha Morning and Lincoln 14 before landing at Lincoln South. his move to Lincoln was due to taking a position with Assurity Lfe where he worked for 28 years until his retirement in 2015.
 
Bill and Joyce have 2 children (Will works with Joyce in Lincoln and Samantha is in Miami), and 2 grandchildren.
 
They have a farm in central Nebraska that belonged to Joyce's family which he said is the most peaceful place he has experienced. He spends as much time there as he can.
 
Bill said one thing we may not know about him . . .  he has a PhD.
 
Wait - What? 
 
He explained his PhD stands for Post hole Digging (which he does a lot on their farm).
