On the left is Mr. Ron McCreary, and on the right is Mr. Austin Adams. Mr. Adams is a banker, and Mr. McCreary is a 1974 BSBA graduate of Appalachian, and Mr. Adams is a banker. I would suggest that this is a job interview and probably took place in Appalachian‘s Office of Placement.

The second sentence above should be corrected by placing a period after Appalachian and by disregarding the rest of the sentence.
