SUMMARY OF TALKS
Tompkins has been a bank since 1836. It now has $63 or so billion with
four branches in Hudson Valley and one in Penn. It has been profitable all
this time. The millennials are the biggest depositors. Defined millennia as
born from 1981-2000, but most live with parents at home since, with loans
re college, cannot afford their own apartments although they have
children. Mostly, bank mortgages and do NOT sell them. The millennials look
at Internet and are interested in world affairs.

TEXT: Via Elinor with Sy as helper.
