I live in Salem, Oregon. I’m a retired high school band director/social studies teacher (35 years). Keep busy volunteering at KTUP-FM and KMUZ-FM and playing trombone in a few local groups.

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.
