First Home Federal's workers were like family
Like every employee who ever worked at First Home Federal Savings and Loan, I read the article recently about the vindication of our alma mater bank ("Failed lender triumphs in court," May 16) with a wide range of emotions.
Those feelings started with satisfaction, then gratitude for those who didn't give up the fight to prove us right, and finally a certain amount of sadness over what could have been had we been allowed to work our way out of the circumstances.
Ask any First Home Federal employee, and they will tell you that First Home had a unique spirit of camaraderie, a unanimous commitment to do quality work and a daily mission to provide stellar service to every customer.
Ask former customers and they will probably tell you that if you wanted to feel welcome and special, bank at First Home Federal.
First Home had so many good people that have gone on to successful careers, many in banking, many in related industries. Some are enjoying a well-deserved retirement.
Even though we are a scattered family now, we still run into each other and always say the same thing about our First Home Federal years: "Those were the best."
