It is a Wonderful Life!

By: Peggy Tyson, SPHR, Human Resources Director

This time of year reminds me of the classic movie It’s a Wonderful Life. Do you remember the story of George Bailey in the movie?  He wasn’t happy with his life because he felt discouraged and didn’t feel he had met up to his potential.  He goes to a bridge to end his life, and he ends up jumping in to save Clarence, his guardian angel (Clarence had been sent down to earth to earn his wings by helping George).  Clarence shows George what life would have been like without his life of service at the Building and Loan that George ran. How his wife never would have married and his children never would have been born. George is reminded of the important ways he has touched so many people in the town.
