If you’ve ever tried to fool Charles VanDyne? Ask Brian Marshall how it is accomplished.

Brian lured Charles to a meeting at Liberty National Bank on Wednesday to discuss a recognition for Corsie Arn and Pat Crist.

Turns out the meeting was a surprise special event in recognition of Charles. The bank officially unveiled a plaque naming the “Charles VanDyne Conference Room,” and read a board resolution in his honor.

Attended by countless friends of Charles, who kept the whole thing a secret, the ceremony included the unveiling of a plaque and recognition to him for his many years of service to the bank.
