Welcome... and Good-bye!

HERE'S HOW IT ALL STARTED:
(The first post...)

This is a blog about credit unions...no more, no less.  Perhaps it will provoke a dialogue, perhaps it will just provoke.  The patron saint of this blog is Thomas Paine, a designation with which he would be amused.


Here are the categories:

• B-words ...observations about our for-profit, four letter f(r)iends.
• Duke Street ...home of the NCUA.
• Egosphere ...the leadership odyssey.
• FOIA ...Freedom of Information Act. A place to look under rocks.
• FTF ...From the field. The kind of stuff which slips through spell check.
• Opinion ...yours or mine.
• Pearls ...wisdom of the ages.
• People ...profiles, mugshots and eulogies.
• Risk ...regs, capital, ALM, TDR's, FASB, GAAP, and other dull stuff.
• Zen ...Aha!! moments.
• ??? ...a search for answers.

Public comments very welcome, preferably with your name.  All comments will be prudishly screened for language and civility.   Plenty of rant sites already available, let's not do another.  Emails welcome: jimblainecreditunion@gmail.com.  Upon your request, more than willing to put forward here publicly, significant questions or to submit FOIA requests on your behalf without attribution.

"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigue of supporting it."

- Thomas Paine

          ... AND WITH THAT THOUGHT,

              IS ALSO HOW THIS BLOG ENDS!

CIAO!
