She recently made the comment that the Only reason you should have to go to the Bank is when you want to gel a loan or gel a certificate of Deposit. I have to go to the Bank and stand in line when i want to Transfer Money from my checking account to my savings account. 1 have to write a Check on my. Checking account and then i out a Deposit slip for my savings. I know i could get a set amount automatically transferred each month but for me the amount 1 put into my savings is different every month. I know i probably could put it in the night Deposit Box but i like to have a receipt on every transaction i make. Every Bank that i be used in inc slates thai had 24-hour Teller lets you make a Transfer of Money be tween accounts. Also Why can t your Green machines be set up to give you a better selection on How much Money you can get instead of a Choice of $20, $60 or si00, Why can t we make our own Choice in multiples of 20 up to a certain limit multiples of 0 would be even better. Most stateside Banks would let you do this. 1 would also like to know what changes merchants Bank has made. The Only changes on the 24-hour Teller is the name the services provided by inc machine arc the same As they were Wilh american express. A com Puter program should be inc easiest Chinglo change.

Introduce yourself to an online machine today. Sex colleague pays tribute to slain agent this is my first attempt at a letter to the editor but Given the circumstances i Felt i should put pen to paper. I am a military policeman stationed in the Frankfurt area. My last assignment 19s4-87, was As a military police investigator with the new York area com Mand. While assigned there had the privilege of working with a major in the. Army Reserve named Everett e. Hatcher. As some May now recognize he was the drug enforcement agent recently kilted in new York City. I read with interest the article in the stars and stripes concerning his affiliation with Dodds and Felt that someone should also mention the career to which he devoted and subsequently Tost his life. While he worked for the Dea he continued to take an Active interest in the military. This affiliation was instrumental in the preparation of the fun Hamilton installation plan for terrorism counteraction. 1 had the Opportunity to work with him on that project including the lest phase scenario which he devised and evaluated. He was a True professional in every sense of he word. He served As the recruitment agent for the new York Field office of the Dea and was responsible for assisting prospective agent candidates during the Ini tial phases of the applicant screening process. He apparently never lost his love of teaching and shortly after Ray arrival in january 1985, he volunteered time to provide instruction during a . Police office survival training seminar for the Mili Lary police and criminal investigators assigned to fort Hamilton. Everett was an acknowledged expert on police survival techniques and often taught the course during the two week drug course offered by the Dea for of her Law enforcement agencies throughout new York slate he was constantly updating his knowledge through Reading and training and never hesitated to share Nis experience and expertise Wilh others. The Law enforcement Community and the military have suffered a tremendous loss in the execution of a maj. Everett e. Hatcher. I am proud to have known him As the Law enforcement official Soldier and Friend that he was. God bless and rest easy. Staff sol. Jeremy a. Sharp Frankfurt West Germany Reader s hard lesson on Lead free Gas just like to bring you up to Date on a lesson Learned. 1 work in Italy and was recently in Garmisch West Germany. I purchased a 100-liter Book of Lead free gasoline coupons from cafes went to the Esso Sta Tion near the Palton hotel and filled my tank. I attempted to use the coupons. The Alt Cedant in formed me that the coupons were no Good and thai a Large sign was posted to Alert personnel. I paid the 36-Mark Bill and went to Sec what i had missed. My lesson was thai there is super Lead free and super plus Lead free gasoline. I had Ustel the super . Which is easy to do Wilh All the advertising on the tank and being unfamiliar with Lead free Gas. I guess  Surprise was the Large sign the Atten Dant mentioned. It was a 3" by 5" notice in the far right. Comer of the Lank face. Having spent three years in Germany this is the fint time i have Ever known a German who thinks a 3" by 5" card is  perhaps if this were published it would save some misunderstanding and possible pm harassment. 1 Mel two other people later that had the same experience.
