A Word From the Ward

Don't forget Wilmington City Council is tonight 7:30pm council chambers.

Wilmington Savings is one of the few businesses in the 1st Ward and I am proud to represent it.

About 50 years ago, this group of men helped lead Wilmington Savings Bank to what it is today. This photo was taken six years after the merge of Wilmington Homestead Co. and Union Loan & Savings Co. which combined to become Wilmington Savings in 1971.

Front Row L to R: Corwin Hale, John Hutchens, Frederick Buckley, Maynard Davids, and Robert Tucker

Back Row L to R: John Reed, James Foland, Nick Eveland, Harry Feike, Thomas Hunter, and James Buckley.

A very Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

It is a great show with lots of laughs and lessons.
