To All My BOL and "Same Time Next Year" Friends,

Today is my last day at work, I am retiring after 38 years (with the same bank - except for the last year when it was taken over by a new bank, but it was all the same people and office). I know I did not post much, especially these last few years, but I came on every morning to see what was what. I always enjoyed the posts (the "BOL Bar" years were classic) and I feel like I got to know some people even though we never actually met.

Of course, there are the people I did meet and some I even got to know and hang out with at the ABA conferences (the times we had during the National Compliance Conferences were EPIC -- you know who you are out there ;)) (Flyboy, I'm talking to you.)

I hope all of you continue on this journey and it is filled with all good things. Thank you for all your help throughout the years and for all the laughs, especially when there really wasn't anything to laugh about (but the absurdity of it all).

With love and gratitude,

Ellen Alderdice

Enjoy your retirement. You can always check-in to see what the latest "problems" are, and why retirement is so much fun.

Congrats on your well deserved retirement, 38 years at the same bank is an amazing accomplishment. Now go and enjoy life to the upmost without the restraints of day to day work duties. I shall follow in your footsteps in about 4 years, I am crossing the days off the calendar.

Well, the things you miss, when you don't frequent the Forums. Fair sailing and following winds, Ellen.
