I WAS HIRED BY MR. CARY BACK IN JUNE 1958 WHEN HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT OF FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN. I WAS JUST A YOUNG HAYSEED GIRL FROM ARK. BUT HE WAS SO NICE AND GOOD TO LISTEN TO MY ANSWERS DURING THE INTERVIEW. MY MOTHER HAD JUST DIED A MONTH BEFORE AND HE HIRED ME AND I WORKED THERE UNTIL 1966
WHEN I LEFT TO HAVE MY SECOND CHILD. BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE SO LOVINGLY SAID HIS SON'S NAME "I CHOSE THAT NAME OF DWIGHT FOR MY SON THAT I HAD".
ALSO, WE USED TO DRAW NAMES AT CHRISTMAS AND MR. CARY DREW MY NAME ONE YEAR AND HE GAVE ME A BRACKLET. I STILL HAVE THAT BRACLET TO THIS DAY. I AM NOW 62 AND STILL THINK OF IT AS BEING A BEAUTIFUL GIFT. MY DAUGHTER WAS PRIVILEDGED TO WEAR IT WHEN SHE WAS A TEENAGER. SHE HAD ALWAYS ADMIRED IT.
MR. CARY WAS A WONDERFUL MAN TO WORK WITH AND A VERY CAREING PERSON. LORI BLACKSTONE SENT ME THE ORBIT JUST THIS WEEK. SO SORRY I DIDNT KNOW OF HIS BURIEL OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN AT MISSION SOUTH. THERE ARE STILL SOME OF THE FIRST FEDERAL GIRLS THAT I TALK TO THAT THOUGHT A LOT OF MR. CARY. WE ALL DID.
THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE MY STORY WITH YOU ALL. YOU HAVE MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY.##imported-begin##LOIS M. DAVISON TRAWICK##imported-end##
