During the agricultural crash decades earlier, when several local farms and businesses were struggling, Grandpa had invested part of his savings in the small community bank rather than moving his money elsewhere. He still owned shares and had remained one of its longest-standing customers. More importantly, Frank\u2019s own father had once received help from Grandpa when his farm was close to foreclosure. Frank had never forgotten it.<br \/>\n        <div class=\"rmwr-wrapper\"\r\n             data-id=\"rmwr-p1471-1\"\r\n                          data-key=\"p1471-1\"\r\n                          data-post=\"1471\"\r\n                          data-animation=\"none\"\r\n                          data-duration=\"300\"\r\n                          data-mode=\"normal\"\r\n                          data-lazy=\"false\"\r\n                          data-smooth-scroll=\"true\"\r\n                          data-scroll-offset=\"0\"\r\n             >\r\n            <button\r\n                type=\"button\"\r\n                class=\"read-link \"\r\n                id=\"readlinkrmwr-p1471-1\"\r\n                data-open-text=\"Read More\"\r\n                data-close-text=\"Read Less\"\r\n                                aria-expanded=\"false\"\r\n                aria-controls=\"readrmwr-p1471-1\"\r\n            >\r\n                                <span class=\"rmwr-text\">Read More<\/span>\r\n            <\/button>\r\n            <div\r\n                class=\"read_div\"\r\n                id=\"readrmwr-p1471-1\"\r\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"\r\n                style=\"display: none;\"\r\n            >\r\n                                    <br \/>\nGrandpa seemed almost embarrassed by the attention. He did not demand that the teller be fired. Instead, he asked Frank to make sure employees received better training on how elderly and rural customers were treated. \u201cMuddy boots don\u2019t tell you what\u2019s inside somebody\u2019s account,\u201d Grandpa said. \u201cAnd even if I had twenty dollars instead of twenty thousand, she still shouldn\u2019t have talked to me that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frank personally processed the $2,500 withdrawal and offered to have the tractor dealer paid directly, but Grandpa wanted the cash exactly as he had requested. An hour later, we were standing at the equipment counter ordering the replacement parts. On the drive home, I asked why he had never told me about his connection to the bank. Grandpa shrugged and looked toward the fields. \u201cBecause money isn\u2019t supposed to make people treat you better.\u201d Then he smiled. \u201cBut sometimes it teaches you a lot when they think you don\u2019t have any.\u201d                                                         <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frank Denton looked at the security guard first. \u201cTake your hand away from your belt.
