Friendship, IN – Dr. Robert Mulford retired this year from The Friendship State Bank board of directors after 35 years of service. Dr. Mulford became a director in 1985 at the invitation of then CEO Jim W. Lemon.
Mulford, a Versailles native, started his relationship with The Friendship State Bank in 1974. He had moved back following his residency to open a medical practice. His parents urged him to talk to Lemon at Friendship after he struggled to find a bank that would lend him money due to his lack of experience. It proved to be a move in the right direction. Following his conversation with Jim Lemon, his loan was approved, and his practice became a fixture in the community for decades.
Mike Davies, retired Friendship State Bank Chief Lending Officer, was voted to take Mulford’s place on the Board of Directors.
