remember.
We're sorry to bid Dennis Caldwell, Manager of Atkinson+Terry Insurance a fond farewell
and best wishes as he moves on to different duties at Head Office. Dennis was an active,
effective supporter of OPBA and community events; he will be missed. Welcome to Ed Maier, a long-time White Rock resident, who has stepped in from his former location at Southpoint bringing with him 10 years' managerial experience and an invitation to stop by the Atkinson+Terry office to say hello.
