I didn't. On the planet where I grew up, the Protestants owned and ran
the banks. It was one of the rules. Banker = Protestant. Catholics
and Jews had other official roles for touching money.
As for that particular individual, there were the little things like the
standard Banker uniform: The Haircut, The grey check suit, The banker's
wing tip shoes, the guy looks like he plays tennis, has an Ivy League /
Pac 8 sports nickname like "Chad," the red face like a little kid when
he gets angry ... stuff like that.
