I did something last week that I had not envisioned ever doing again, I returned to Findlay, OH.
I received an email from an ex-fellow employee of Diamond Savings & Loan Company where Irene and I worked. The company had been sold to Bank One on October 28, 1992, twenty years ago. The email stated that a "family" reunion was being planned for September 8 and wondered if I was interested in attending. As we were indeed a family, a most unusual bond of employees as I have ever seen, I could not resist.
Irene was featured in a slide show of other employees who had departed as well as old candid photos of company parties, etc. It was obvious from the conversations I had with everyone that she is still sorely missed by many.
