12 JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2023 coffee all day? My wife and I have traveled a fair amount and love to read. We’ll probably do more of that. We have five daughters and 14 grandkids. I’m not really a golfer. I golf about two best-ball activities a year, so that’s not really where I’m looking. My wife has really done a nice job in getting involved. She volunteers with Freedom Reigns, which is a horse therapy nonprofit, as well as the St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank, and serves as president of Trotter House Lifeline Family Center. I think I’m going to find a way to similarly be more engaged with charities and community causes. HB be something as simple as attending and participating in one of the summer regional meetings or the annual Washington lobbying trip. It’s easy, especially at the smaller banks where you do a lot of the hands-on, to feel like you don’t have time to write a letter about CRA modernization. But if you always rely on the other guy to do it, and the other guy says they’re going to rely on this other guy to do it, then nobody’s doing it. I know Jamie Shinabarger and wife “Sam” (Catherine Shinabarger) joined by Janice and Bruce Wright at the 2021 IBA Annual Convention in French Lick, Ind. Jamie Shinabarger (center) presenting two Springs Valley Bank & Trust Company employees with a “WOW” award (Renee Nord, left; Sandy Hemmerlein, right). it’s hard, but I think engaging legislatively is important because of how much regulation we have. Our compliance burden is pretty extensive. Describe your home life. What do you like to do for fun? I need more hobbies because I’m within a couple of years of retirement, so what am I going to do?
