ANOTHER SHS INDUCTEE

From the Searcy Daily Citizen:

Searcy businessman E.D. Yancey has always called Searcy home, and the city has been greater because of his business and philanthropic interests.

“Having known E.D. Yancey as a business associate and a friend since we first moved to Searcy in 1977, I believe he has been and will continue to be a great asset to our community. All of us at First Security are pleased to see him recognized for his efforts to improve the educational experience for Searcy students.” Chairman of the Board and CEO of First Security Bancorp Reynie Rutledge said.

Yancey graduated from Searcy High School in 1956 and was co-valedictorian of his class. While there, he lettered in football and basketball. He then went on to the University of Arkansas and was a 1961 graduate with a degree in business.
