[QUOTE="Lone Wolf '49, post: 1570019, member: 3016"] The OP is very correct. And this reply is a I may sound like I am on a soap box for my late father and I am because of what he did in his life. He was a small town banker first in Lone Wolf then in Hobart and back and forth since he had dealings with both banks. I remember almost ever evening or so someone coming by the house while we had supper, yes in those days it was supper. They came by because they were hardworking people who worked for others and could not get to the bank before closing. One of the best testimonials to my Dad was a few years ago and I attended a 60's reunion in Hobart. Yes, I am from Lone Wolf originally, but graduated from HS in Hobart. It was a weekend thing for all classes. Friday evening was a get together and my wife being from Midwest City sat at a table with other wives. A Black lady sat down next to my wife and saw her name tag and saw the last name and the lady asked her if she was related to my Dad, Oren. Mrs. LW said yes he was my late father in law. The lady just went wild, not really but said your husband must meet my husband. Well, Mrs. LW came and grabbed me and took me to the lady who in turn took me to her husband. He is 7 years older but I remembered him. He went on and on how he could come by after work and Dad would tend to his business and no paperwork was there to sign, but they shook hands always. Dad knew and trusted people and gave them the benefit of the doubt and they never let him down. In his many years of banking I know he only had one bad deal and he eventually collected on that, but that is another story. Just saying, there are no more small town bankers, well, I really can't say that if the small town banks are still privately owned. [/QUOTE]
