On March 7, Forcht Bank employees were surprised with an extra special Employee Appreciation Dinner when Reed Sheppard and parents, Jeff and Stacey, joined in on the celebration. The Sheppard family even took to the court to participate in some friendly competition among Forcht Bank employees.
Reed’s expert guidance and swift rebounding skills soared with two employees, who ended the night with a little extra cash in their pockets after each nailed a layup and a free throw during one of the games.
Jeff and Stacey displayed some friendly rivalry when they stepped in as head coaches during the Forcht Bank Blue/White All-Star Game, in which two teams (one blue and one white) of 10 competed in fun skills competitions.
Jeff’s quick-thinking and notable career achievements, including the NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player in 1998, led him and his team to victory. Stacey, who led UK in scoring for two seasons, guided her team to a close second place finish.
Reed, Jeff and Stacey stayed after the night concluded – in typical Sheppard family tradition – to talk with employees, sign autographs and take photos. It was a night Forcht Bank employees will not forget.
