Hi, Julia!

This is Phillip McDowell. I worked in Commercial Loan Ops with Fordham and Cartner.

I don’t remember the circumstances but we had lots of laughs with “Who shot JR?”.

Hi, Meb. Hope you had a great day of birthday celebration!

Happy Birthday, Young Man! Hope you are having a great day and wishing you many more birthdays to come.

Hello Mebane, Hope all is well with you. Glad to see you made it to retirement. If you ever find your way passing through Jacksonville, FL, please call. Would enjoy catching up with you.

Take care...Phillip McDowell

Hi Matin, Hopefully you remember me from our days at Barnett Bank. I am still in Jacksonville, FL but have retired from the working world. Occasionally I have lunch with Murray Spector. Every time we get together he asks if I have been in contact with you. I guess he remembers we are fellow NC State alums.

Hope all is well.

Take care...Phillip McDowell

Back in the mid-1980's a short-term project turned into a full-time position for me in Commercial Loan Operations of the Control Department where I worked with Jim Fordham, Jim Cartner, and Susan Payne.  They always spoke of Mr. Myers in glowing terms.  He stopped by the office occasionally to his former department colleagues which is where I had the good fortune of meeting him.

Although we never worked together, he still shared some of himself with me.  He was always kind, genuinely interested in knowing me and what I was working on.  As many have posted on this blog, Bob Myers was a real gentleman and exemplified what we learned about being a Wachovian.  

My prayers go out to his family.
