Yet despite constant change, the culture of Katahdin Trust Company remained consistent and true, to serve the needs of their customers. There is no question that Katahdin Trust Company is truly 'community banking at its best'. I have greatly enjoyed the interaction and collaboration with the Board and senior management as we explored future opportunities, expanded into new markets and developed new products and services to meet the needs of our customers. I will certainly miss that."
