Many years ago now, I had an opportunity to meet “C.L” while he was employed with the First National Bank in Columbus, IN. He, as I remember, worked part-time for the bank in the Consumer Loan Department. Efficient, street smart, and always with a great sense of humor. He brought a diversified background of law enforcement, farming, and common sense to his duties. A full and fruitful life, rest in peace, “C.L.”
