been a valued member of the
bank’s management team, formerly
as a member of the board of direc
tors, and as a branch manager, f

June 15 from Kodiak, said, “The
nicest people in the world live in
Kodiak.” He said he has never
lived in a community where people
treated him any better. He has
made many life long friends here
whom he will never forget, and
hopes he can keep in contact with
them via correspondence, and
hopes to come back for a visit in
a few years.
During his five years here, he
has observed a vast economic
growth of the community, and says
that he is sure that the Kodiak
community is now entering a
growth period which will far ex
ceed anything experienced in the
past.
He hopes to drive his car from
Iowa to Kodiak via the ferry in
about five years from now, and at
that time hopes to be able to drive
over a new bridge to Near Island
to visit some of his friends living in
new homes, as well as a scenic
drive to Ouzinkie.
He appears to be left with mixed
emotions while thinking of his de
parture, and says that the officers
and employes of the bank have
given him more and better co
operation than he has deserved,
and that they are the nicest people
he has ever worked with.
