LARGE PRINT EDITION
Twins Maye Smith and Faye Hudson tell the story of their remarkable, inspiring success . . . from bank tellers to bank presidents to millionaires. They shared everything life had to offer. Having conquered all the lessons and nearing retirement, the pair decided to try one more thing: to take their bank public. They offered stock to depositors who bought all the available shares. Soon after, the largest bank in the state offered them $17.5 million for their savings and loan. This is a unique treasury of American life and of an American Dream come true.
