The next morning, Olen asked Nita if she planned to return to work. Olen was right. Nita has stuck with it for more than 40 years, until Monday, when she retired as a vice president at First National. Because it gets harder all the time. That's due to the growing volume of regulations, she said.
Every day there are new regulations that come out.
It just snowballs. It's a good time to retire. Nita was hired by Woodrow Watts, vice president and cashier, at a time when Walter Johnson was bank president. The bank was at North 4th and Cypress. Today it's located at 400 Pine.
