Eric Duthie (son of Al Duthie, Ingredient Division Technical Service Rep) ended his college football career for North Central College (Naperville, IL) in a game on November 14th against Elmhurst College. As a fresh- man he played J.V., as a sophomore dressed for varsity home games, and as a junior and senior saw playing time as a kick-off specialist, holder, and place kicker. North Central College finished this season 7-3 and ranked 15th in the nation for Division 3 college football teams.

The Crest family was saddened by the sudden passing of Steve Miley of Lundberg Construction on November 18th. Steve has been the planner, coordinator of activity and man on the scene for all of Crest’s construction projects over the past twenty-five years. That means he was responsible for putting over ten acres of land under a roof in some fashion or another over that period of time. He was most recently the person who was asked to pull a rabbit out of his construction hat and get us back into business again after the tornado in a stunningly short period of time. He also was presented the Crest Culture Award at our supplier appreciation event recognizing his role in getting Crest back on our feet again after the tornado with a level of determination and inge- nuity that left us all in awe.

More significant than what he did for us through Lundberg Construction was how he did it. Steve was a genuinely nice guy that took all the pressures associated with a rush construction project in stride and was always a pleasure to be around and work with. He was one of those people that you always knew cared as much about you as a person as he did for you as a customer. We were honored and fortunate to work side by side with Steve for so many years. For those who worked with him he was a fixture at Crest and will be genuinely missed. Although his truck said Lundberg Construction on the side, we considered him to be just as much a part of the Crest family as any of the rest of us. Our sympathies go out to his family and co-workers. May you rest in peace Steve Miley.
