By 1972, Wold and family had relocated to Grand Forks, N.D., where he became president and CEO of First National Bank, which then had three locations and dealt primarily in traditional deposit and lending activities.
Having himself benefited from the mentorship of coaches and others in life, Wold delighted in mentoring younger people at the office as well as at home. His daughters said he imbued in them the value of hard work and a love for reading and music, and all three worked at the bank as youths in some capacity or another. We started at an early age, and it was just a given that we were going to go and either file checks or work in bookkeeping, Wold s daughter, Susan Kraft, said. He made sure during college that we all worked part-time, too.
