BofA did a AT&T

Post #267,201 by tonytib 9/11/06 11:52:53 AM Reply	BofA did a AT&T SBC buys AT&T, decides AT&T has a better brand name, and renames itself AT&T. Earlier, Nations Bank (Charlottsville, NC) buys Bank of America, but after a bit decides BofA is a better brand, and renames itself Bank of America. So the Bank of Italy(America) brand almost disappeared. --Tony

Of course, the NationsBank management was more "talented" in the re-organizations that followed. Somehow the California management boys found themselves wanting "to pursue other interests".

Last year at Thanksgiving, my daughter, son-in-law and grandkids visited the son-in-law's parents near DC and my wife and I visited my son and his wife in Mebane, NC. It would be great to meet you F2F! Alex When fascism comes to America, it'll be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. -- Sinclair Lewis
