蓝帽花之乡-教堂山传奇


在人生的道路上,也有许多令人难遇和难忘的事跡, 今天我们大伙来到了德州州花蓝帽花之乡,和教堂山银行的行长史密斯老先生相拥抱, 在德州参议员惠特迈先生的庄园中,踩在巨幅的蓝帽花海之中, 这是人生中令人心矌神怡而终身难忘之珍贵时刻。


记得在我孩童时代就要远离双亲到市裡求学, 他们常常在我耳边提醒说:“蔚𠒇, 要记得在家靠父母, 在外要靠朋友。” 数十年来,我牢记双亲之叮嘱….


今天教堂山镇上遇见了史密斯及惠特迈先生,是我在这块土地上遇到的好友, 他们都是平实、 肯干和蔼的成功美国人。


创建於1907 年的教堂山银行已逾百年, 是德州最老之银行, 在史密斯掌管下已有三十八年之久, 他是在好友前赫里斯郡艾柯郡长之牵引下,让我们有机会成為合伙人 继续在原有之基础上再成立另一新银行——环球第一银行。 我们相信这次的结合将是德州银行史上之一大创举, 今天在这个古老具有歷史性的银行大厅, 我们看见史密斯笑顏常开, 他非常高兴我们变成了一家人。


更巧的是宣佈竞选下届休斯敦市长的德州参议员惠特迈就在教堂山拥有佔地三百亩的庄园 ,当我们走进这片蓝帽花盛开的大花海中时, 我们都惊呆了, 惠特迈参议员牵来了两匹骏马, 蓝天白云花香扑鼻, 我们在花海中合影留念, 我告诉参议员说, 你真是生活在天堂之中。


在回家路上, 我又想起早年父母之训示, 在人生不断的挑战中, 朋友是何等重要, 感恩养育我们的双亲, 感恩这块土地给予的机会。




   Home Of The Bluebonnet Legend Of Chappell Hill

 


There are always many rare and unforgettable deeds on the road of life. Today we all came to the home of the bluebonnets and visited Chappell Hill Bank with banker, Mr. Smith. We gave him a big hug and told him how much we appreciated him for letting us join the bank as family. 


 


I always remember when I was child that my parents often said to me, “Son, you can rely on your parents when you are home, and you should also rely on your friends when you are away from home.” 


 


Chappell Bank was founded in 1907 and has been noted as the oldest bank in Texas. It has been under Mr. Smith’s management for more than 38 years. With the help of former Harris County Judge Robert Eckels, we were able to become a partner of Mr. Smith and continued to establish another bank, Global One Bank. We believe that this will open a new chapter for the banking business in Texas. Today we saw Mr. Smith open his arms to welcome us as his new family. 


 


What’s more, Texas Senator John Whitmire, who announced that he is running to be next Mayor of Houston, owns a 300-acre ranch in this town. When we walked on the land with all the bluebonnets, we were all stunned. Senator Whitmire brought two horses for us to ride and then took our photo under the blue sky in a sea of blue flowers I told him that he is really living in paradise. 


 


On the way home, I remembered the teaching of my parents in my early years. In the constant challenges of life, how important friends are. I am so grateful to my parents who taught me and I am very grateful for the opportunity I have been given by this land.
