Wayne Reed started working fro Shank and Hiebert Grocery when he was discharged
  from the service. Bothy Shank and Hiebert were still in the store when he began
  working in 1946. Chirley Hiebert bought out Mr. Shank and Wayne then worked for Charley
  Hiebert.
       Wayne remembers Lou Shank showing him how to candle eggs in the back room of the
  store.
       Wayne bought the store from Hiebert and borrowed money to put in a locker plant.
  Wayne cut meat at night and worked in the store during the day. He then hired Warren
  Hettenbach away from the Abilene A&P to cut ;meat and butcher for the locker. When
  Mr. Hiebert sold to Wayne he went to work in the bank for Roy Johnson.
       Wayne had the store about ten years and then sold it to Bob Krause. Wayne then
  worked for Fleming Company in Topeka. In 1958 he went into another store in Independence.
       Wayne was married to Catherine Brehm. She had also worked for Shank and Hiebert.
  Catherine has passed away. Wayne and Catherine had two children. Larry lives in 
  Huntington Beach, California and Dorita is in Houston, Texas.
       Wayne is now in Casper, Wyoming working fo the Rocky Mountain Food Dealers 
  Association as Wyoming Division Manager.
