         Re:      Letter of Resignation
                  ---------------------

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Through this letter,  I am formally  resigning from the Boards of Directors
of the Company and the Bank.  Over the years, I found great enjoyment in serving
as a Director and Executive  Officer of the Bank and its holding  company.  I am
proud of what we have  accomplished for our customers,  shareholders,  employees
and the community. While I will miss working with my friends, resigning from the
Boards will give me more time to enjoy my family and other  interests  during my
retirement.

                                                         Sincerely,


                                                         /s/ Craig E. Toensing
