you. What makes this memory so enduring is that it still
has the power to inspire a vision

My Bank
Every day during my early teen years, riding
the bus to and from high school, I would find
myself fixing upon the ads for “my bank,” Bank
of Montreal. Variations on those ads were a
constant in my life for many years, and when the
day came to find myself a part-time job,
guess
where I filled out my first application.
Once I was part of it, “my bank” came to have
an even more special meaning for me. Then as
now, truth be told, I was drawn to the emotion-
ally charged and socially useful business of
helping people manage their finances.
What those “my bank” ads evoked for a young
and idealistic part-time banker was a truly
distinctive organization with a very close and
strong relationship with its customers: a bank
so helpful and respected and indeed admired
that employees and customers loved it and

and positive force in the community.
