Punch cards, readers and lots of big boxes were required to perform small tasks in 1968, but it was rocket science and we marvelled. Today Dick Tracy would be stunned to discover that the wrist radio/TV has become a wrist PDA capable of more operations per second than the combined computing power of a large city in '68.

How about this - when I startedat the bank, we documented our installment loans on these little Eastern Pacific machines. They were so cool - like a printer and pull out keypad all in one. You had to type in all the info on a keypad that had buttons as small as can be, and you had to hunt and peck with squinty eyes. I LOVED that machine!

I feel like a baby. My parents graduated from highschool in the 60's.

Compliance? This was not in the game plan. I was gonna save the world - hadn't figured out how yet, but that was definitely on my agenda.
According to this story, compliance has already saved the world!

Me too! I was 2 days away from being 8. (Saturday I'll be 44.) Back then I was planning on being a teacher because my mom was one. I'm sure glad I chose banking - I help out over noon hours at my sons school once a month and know I could never have made it as a teacher even with having the summer off.

You and Spec. Opps. are the persons bankers will be looking to increasingly as older folk like Richard and I hang up our spikes and leave compliance for the blessings of retirement. We (Richard and I) have grown up as compliance has come of age. For your sakes, I hope the pace of change gets no more frenetic!
By the way, I'm not ready for the rocking chair quite yet!

Yes, John, we've interned, labored and presided over the era of consumer protection during a very busy time in banking. It will soon be time to turn our national attention to making retired life comfortable for boomers so we can retire in style!

I was a curley headed five year old, just auditioning for an Ivory Soap advertisement. I could have cared less about TIL...well unless they'd use my cute little face to advertise it (and I'm thinking 5 would be a bit young to point out the age descrimination side of the deal). If I'd have thought I was going to be a banker I'd have probably drowned myself in the swamp in the back 40 of the farm....wait, I tried that several times...(always had to be rescued from getting stuck in the mud while wandering around chasing bull frogs). Gad I was a monster! (I also hung baby gardner snakes from the cloths line under the drying cloths to scare my mommy...) She said the whole basket crawled....::shuddering:: Geeze what was I thinking!

So Dawnie, did you get the ad?
I too was not yet even a thought in the minds of my parents.
