One of the rewards of being a loan officer at BankBoston was to develop relationships with the able executives of our customers. Among the most valued was Dan Greiff of Belle Steel. Discussions were open, honest and always constructive. Mutual complaints were likely to relate to the Sox pitching staff and Celtics defense.
