that we don’t have with our current bank, they have exceptional rates, are<br />
locally managed, have a strong financial record nationally, superior customer<br />
service, and after-market services. Mike Garcia and Chris Winek from<br />
Farmers & Merchant Bank were introduced. They will head up the transition<br />
