2001 award from Bob Davis Ceo USAA

It was a 12 week training starting for home loans. We were to write something funny we did the night before graduation to move on to the floor. I was the youngest in the class and mine was the funniest thing that happened the evening before graduation, therefore I won the CEO Bob Davis award out of my whole class of 30 of us.
