A story from Peter:

There was a clan visit to the farm. Phillip was to arrive later by bus and needed someone to pick him up from the station. They received a call to pick him up and asked where they could find him.

He said "I'm in front of the First National Bank" and hung up, without saying what city he was in.

They put their brains together and someone thought there was a branch in Asbury Park. Someone drove there, to no avail. They eventually found him in front of a local bank in Toms River.

To Phillip, all banks were the First National Bank.
