Court allows FDIC to intervene in Keystone bank case
U S District Judge David A Faber granted the FDIC permission to intervene as a plaintiff in Waynesburg College versus Terry L Church. The case traces to the First National Bank of Keystone collapse and stems from a January 2000 complaint by Waynesburg College and Hargrave Military Academy, heirs of J Knox McConnell, former FNB Keystone president. McConnell died in 1997 with his will naming the schools as beneficiaries.
