JEFFREY E AND SALLY A FIDDLER CPS SCHOLARSHIP Jeffrey and Sally Fiddler had backgrounds in business and education. Sally Fiddler was grateful for the efforts of Dean Warren Jenkins with respect to her receiving her degree. If it weren’t for his efforts she would not have had the ability to finish her course work and obtain her degree. With that degree, she went to Chicago, where she met her husband, Jeffrey, and where she spent many years in the Chicago educational system. This allowed her to make a difference in the lives of her students, just as Dean Warren Jenkins made a difference in her life. Jeffrey Fiddler was a very successful person in the computer technology area. Their combined gift will support worthy UWSP students in perpetuity. W.B. GREATON SCHOLARSHIP Wilson B. (Bart) Greaton, Sr., was born and raised in New Richmond, Wisconsin. He attended the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin-River Falls before completing the La Salle correspondent course in accounting. He worked at the First National Bank of New Richmond for 10 years and moved to Junction City in 1939 where he joined the Junction State Bank. He became president of the bank in 1957 and was Chairman of the Board at the time of his death in 1983. Mr. Greaton was progressive in his leadership and banking procedures and influential in starting installment loan policies. The W.B. Greaton Scholarship was established by Mr. Greaton’s wife, Evelyn S. Greaton. The scholarship was established to encourage young students to achieve their goals in the field of business. The Greatons’ children, Kathryn Wohlbier of Stevens Point and Wilson Greaton of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., continue to support this scholarship. GORDON HAFERBECKER SCHOLARSHIP Gordon Haferbecker was an economics professor for 10 years at UW- Milwaukee beginning in 1946. He received his doctorate in economics from UW-Madison in 1952.
