Renowned banker Gladys Forsyth to receive honors this weekend
Gladys McCue Forsyth, head of a top 100 savings and loan, will attend the University of Nebraska Lincoln Builders Award ceremony on Saturday and Nebraska Wesleyan University for an honorary degree Sunday. A world traveler and pioneer woman in finance, she led First Federal Savings & Loan from 1947 to 1974, growing assets from 6 million to over 600 million and advancing electronic funds transfer. Forsyth plans further travel to Florence in June and has aided international UNL students. The Birmingham Alabama AP report notes James Craig Smith, 72, longtime Avondale Mills leader and former IFCTI president, died in Chicago.
