Earl came to Annapolis County with the bank in 1966 before leaving for three years and returning in 1972. He became Clerk for the Town of Middleton where he served very fittingly until his retirement in 2003.\u00a0 To soothe his administrative headaches he turned to beating up the golf ball at Eden Golf and Country Club.
