I’m in the process of moving some savings from one fund to another. One thought keeps popping up: “I hope I can still take some money out if I need it.” Maybe that’s why I kept my dial tuned this morning to Bob Edwards’ interview with a Credit Union employee who survived the Oklahoma City bombing. And, why I was so touched by the interview with another Credit Union employee who flew in afterwards to help with the mess.
You don’t think of Credit Union tellers or managers as first
responders. And, maybe their duty
wasn’t as dangerous as those who worked on “the pile.” But they took their
share of lumps. Survivors and family were cut off from their accounts while left with no identification and no records. Their grief contained a lot of rage.
When I think of Oklahoma City, I usually think of the Oklahoma Thunder and how they just missed the NBA playoffs.
Today, a distant but terrible thunder fills my mind.
