NOTE TO OUR LONGTIME BANKING CUSTOMERS

Dear Harriet, Thelma and Blanche:

We’re sorry, we’re closing your branch.

We know it’s a pain and a pity

that now you must drive to the city

and dodge all the cars and the trucks

to get cash when you need a few bucks.

Pat D’Amico is a frequent submitter to Northwest Prime Time, sometimes to Sharing Stories.

SHARING STORIES is a weekly column for about the 50-plus crowd living in the Puget Sound region. Send your stories and photos to ariele@comcast.net. Tell local or personal stories; discuss concerns around aging and other issues; share solutions, good luck, and reasons to celebrate; poems are fine too. Pieces may be edited or excerpted. We reserve the right to select among pieces. Photos are always a plus and a one-sentence bio is requested (where you live, maybe age or career, retired status, etc.).

SHARING STORIES is featured on www.northwestprimetime.com, the website for Northwest Prime Time, a monthly publication for baby boomers, seniors, retirees, and those contemplating retirement. The newspaper can be found in the greater Seattle area and other Puget Sound locations. For more information, call 206-824-8600 or visit www.northwestprimetime.com. To find other SHARING STORIES articles on this website type "sharing stories" in the search function above.
