The phrase ‘in the vault’ holds some extra meaning for the folks at McDonough. At our headquarters in Eau Claire, a prized piece of history still holds a place of importance after nearly a century – the original McDonough vault door.
While the vault itself is gone, the original door lives on at the new McDonough building. The room behind it doesn’t hold anything of monetary value, but it holds something perhaps worth more to President and CEO, Sue Tietz – her family’s legacy.
“It’s part of us”, says Sue, who reflects fondly on the lengths her father went through to move the very heavy door to the new McDonough building.
“He was proud of it and we were proud of him. He shared that story many times with us and others. My Dad had a way of making a lasting impression on people. – Sue Tietz
