What’s the best advice you’ve received?
My best is from my father, and it was work hard every day.
As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a professional baseball player. It’s where the girls were.
What was your first job?
I started out on the family farm. We didn’t believe in child labor laws back then so we started at about [age] 10, hoeing cotton and moving irrigation pipe. That’s why I got into banking because it was indoors and air-conditioned.
What’s your favorite board game and why?
Chess or Trivial Pursuit — that’s a better board game.
