Vince Fangman, Sally Fangman, and Mike Fangman, with 12 volumes of survey books that contain 6,000 to 7,000 individual surveyed parcels, and over a half century of surveying technology equipment.
PINE ISLAND - Vince Fangman grew up with four brothers and four sisters on a dairy and hog farm in Elma, Iowa. He attended Rochester State Junior College (now RCTC) in 1968 (the first year RSJC moved to its current location). He obtained an AA Degree in Civil Engineering Technology. Meeting his wife Sally (from Plainview) seemed to put farming on the back burner. Vince and Sally were married in 1972. He worked at McGhie & Betts Inc. in Rochester from 1970 to 1980 as a crew chief and in the later years worked in the office processing field work and assisting the principal land surveyor with research, bidding, and managing survey crews.
