The decision to participate was easy. The proposed gag order would have stifled the flow of information about a high-profile case and would have hindered our members’ (and other media outlets’) industry that go on behind the scenes.

  • 2007SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT These Voices of Experience Are the People Bank Mutual Is Fortunate to Work with Every Day
    VOICES OF EXPERIENCE 2007SUMMARY ANNUAL REPORT These Voices of Experience are the people Bank Mutual is fortunate to work with every day. They are respected experts in their field, whether that be pouring concrete, broadcasting, or developing and managing commercial real estate. They look for that same level of experience and expertise in their financial partner, and they find it at Bank Mutual. We invite you to read what they have to say about their experiences with Bank Mutual through the years. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Letter to Shareholders 4. Additional Financial Perspectives 6. Detailed Financial Highlights 8. Voices of Experience On the cover John Kersey. See page 15 for his story. Inset photo: Courtesy of the Milwaukee County Historical Society. LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS For the year ending December 31, 2007, diluted earnings per share were $0.31, a decrease of 8.8 percent from 2006 earnings of $0.34 per share. Earnings totaled $17.1 million for the year, compared to $20.6 million in 2006. These calculations reflect our ongoing stock repurchase program, through which nearly 11 million shares were purchased in 2007. At the same time, we rewarded shareholders with dividends four times this year, marking the 28th consecutive quarterly dividend since going public in 2000. The total cash dividends for 2007 were $0.33 per share, an increase of more than 13 percent over the previous year. While it is not customary for cash dividends to be greater than earnings for the year, we found ourselves in a strong capital position and felt that continuing and increasing these payments to shareholders was a preferred strategy for deploying our excess capital.

  • When Pride Still Mattered: a Life of Vince Lombardi Free
    FREE WHEN PRIDE STILL MATTERED: A LIFE OF VINCE LOMBARDI PDF David Maraniss | 541 pages | 30 Sep 2000 | Simon & Schuster Australia | 9780684870182 | English | East Roseville, Australia When Pride Still Mattered - Wikipedia In this groundbreaking biography, David Maraniss captures all of football great Vince Lombardi: the myth, the man, his game, and his God. More than any other sports figure, Vince Lombardi transformed football into a metaphor of the American experience. The son of an Italian immigrant butcher, Lombardi toiled for twenty frustrating years as a high school coach and then as an assistant at Fordham, West Point, and the New York Giants before his big break came at age forty-six with the chance to coach a struggling team in snowbound Wisconsin. His leadership of the Green Bay Packers to five world championships in nine seasons is the most storied period in NFL history. Lombardi became a living legend, a symbol to many of leadership, discipline, perseverance, and teamwork, and to others of an obsession with winning. In When Pride Still Mattered, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Maraniss captures the myth and the man, football, God, and country in a thrilling biography destined to become an American classic. David Maraniss is an associate editor at The Washington Post and a distinguished visiting professor at Vanderbilt University. He has won two Pulitzer Prizes for journalism and was a finalist three other times. A Good American Family is his twelfth book. May be the best sports biography ever published. A finely crafted, multifaceted portrait of a life driven by obsession. It is a wonderful work.
