 think I was the fifth manager, and I've been the only one since then.

H: This [Credit Union all grew] from your little closet.

M: Yes. It was literally a room about half this size [a size that would equal

H: When you first started, of course, you were a temporary [in each position within

M: Well, I was full-time, but I was a floater. They still have floaters now, at the

 as needed. I would float back to HR and help them.

H: That seems to be one of the characteristics of Sea Island, is that people do
 multiple jobs.


M: Do they still?
