Old Banking Stories
Do you have a funny or interesting banking story of years past? Banking has certainly changed over the years, and we’re looking to compile some short stories of banking that happened years ago. If you have a short story you’d like to share, please drop it off here at the bank or e-mail it to lgault@ncbank.net (Lisa’s attention). If possible, we’d like to share them at our party in June. We can keep the names anonymous.
