bank's 150th anniversary
Y lo que somos y parte de lo que seremos se lo debemos a tantos y tantos profesionales, muchos de ellos protagonistas de estas páginas. Sus vivencias en este Banco arrancan en una época y en una sociedad en la que tantas cosas estaban por hacer. El banco fue su mejor escuela y allí fueron cumpliendo sueños poco a poco. Este libro es un reconocimiento a su función de transmisión de este patrimonio intangible, tan difícil de contabilizar en la cuenta de resultados, pero que conforma el alma de esta gran familia.

I get a sense of excitement, as if these pioneers of the bank had a really interesting time ahead of them, in their role of forming the "alma de esta gran familia" as it says at the end.
