Heartland Hero

Wascher has built First Printing up from a tiny one-employee shop to a first-class operation with 16 employees and a $1 million budget. The bank recently invested a substantial sum in moving the in-plant to a larger facility, a sure sign of how valuable First Printing has become to the company.

Wascher has always been driven by a desire to move ahead. After graduating from Wayne State College, she returned briefly to her home town, but quickly realized her opportunities there were limited.
