joyce mermisLifelong Kansas resident. Born in Russell and moved to Salina shortly after getting married, which produced two children. Started my banking career in Salina, survived 4 mergers and retired 38 years later from B of A in Topeka in 1998. Moved to Wamego after retirement and was the "free-labor force", filling in where needed. I built a home in 2003 and love working in construction, so continued for 'free'. Retirement was great for spur-of-the-moment lunches and visits with friends and family. I traveled extensively for 4 years, but with all things, that got old. I have many interests and manage to keep busy in my spare time. I joined the KMAN staff part-time October 2008, and have enjoyed being around the diverse and young associates.
