You have just settled down to watch your favorite TV show (live or on demand) or Ball Game. You turn on the TV, and you have no signal. Or maybe you have tickets to see your favorite team play live. You head out the door, and your car won’t start. Undoubtedly in your lifetime you… Read more »

Letters From Leton: Talk Talk Talk!!!
Last week was, well, shall we say – reinvigorating. Gaining more confidence knowing that my COVID vaccine has taken hold, I have been “visiting” a little more. Some visits were planned – My trips to our Jonesville and Abingdon Offices. A visit to an old friend and successful businessman in Norton. Talks with the local… Read more »
Letters From Leton: Getting an Oil Change
Life can be about routines. Though we often complain about boredom, regular routines ground us in our daily lives. In the past, one of my regular routines was getting the oil changed in Bank car at least quarterly (or more often if my travels were a bit more). So, there I was one morning this… Read more »
Letters From Leton: I’ll Have a Frosty With My Big Mac
Perhaps it is age. Perhaps I’m just busy. Or maybe I am the only one who gets things a little backwards sometimes. Recently I was in my primal mood, and I needed meat – well, a hamburger. I decided to swing by a local establishment. The line was long, and I was in a hurry. Receiving… Read more »
Letters From Leton: Hold That Door Please!
A lot of stuff gets ordered online these days, and a lot of stuff gets sent back. That’s why it isn’t surprising to see folks carrying packages back in to the post office. Sometimes they arrive at the door only to realize they have to pull the door open, but their hands are loaded with… Read more »

Days such as your graduation day. The first day at a new job. The day you arrive at the vacation destination you’ve dreamed of for… Read more »
Letters From Leton: If I Don’t Do It Somebody Else Will!
So after five years and a few cracks, I am getting a new cell phone. In preparation for its arrival this week (in Covid times, new phones come in the mail), I went through my phone and my Cloud information. You know – contacts, saved files, pictures. I hadn’t cleaned out the phone “closet” for… Read more »
Letters From Leton: Put Me In Coach!
Returning robins, blooming flowers, and baseball… the signs of spring! My son played baseball from T-ball through high school- and mostly with the same guys. Along the way, I was involved as a coach, as President of Glade Little League for 3 years, and …drum roll… as the Game Announcer for Little League games. Later… Read more »
Letters From Leton: After You
Following a mentally and physically tiring few weeks, I recently ventured to our home office in Jonesville to work with our folks on plans for our Annual Shareholders Meeting in April. A beautiful drive through a scenic region set the tone for the day. Throughout the day I had the pleasure of social distanced visiting… Read more »
Letters From Leton: $19.66 or 1966
To help the busy ladies here at the Wise office, I go to the post office for the mail. It gives me a chance to interact with other masked folks – the community and personal interaction I miss the most as part of COVID. On a recent post office run, I stopped by a gas… Read more »
