almost half my life

Bill - I've spent almost half my life with you & celebrated so many wonderful life events with you, watched our children grow into wonderful  young and then not so young adults - lots of challenges & ups & downs.  I've learned & grown & had so many rewarding experiences holding on to your coat tails as you've moved more than a mile a minute, more than a new idea or product or program a minute - Always at the head of the pack, never satisfied with the last success, always moving on to the next challenge.  Thru the great, rewarding times & the rough times too, it's been amazing - so many opportunities for growth & seeing the impact of our work in the community - I know you will find great challenges with your new work, great successes & wish you much happiness.  Carol Chernikoff, Chief Lending Officer

never acted uppity

What impressed me in a big way about you, Bill, was that you never acted uppity. What other CEO you know would work as a teller just so he would not lose touch?  In the early days of AFCU, when there was a bit of a profit, you did not take a chunk for yourself, but said: Let's divide it equally amongst all the people who work here. What  a guy! You were the big reason I kept my AFCU account, when I moved to Arizona, California, France and now North-Carolina.

Wishing you happy retirement. You deserve it!

Proud Mother

Bill, the pride I feel in your accomplishments must not just be because I'm your Mother.  It is so very heart warming to know so many others share in my love for you and appreciation for your selfless accomplishments.  And even more important you have been able to do this and also have a happy home life; You and Nancy can take great pleasure and pride in knowing that your children have good values and are well equipped to also make a difference for good in the world Love and Best Wishes to you and Nancy

Cool cover on the CU magazine

Cool cover on the CU magazine.  You are certainly my hero.   I cannot think of anyone in the movement who deserves more praise.   Hang around down here when you have some time.  I have an extra bedroom and bath.
