When Steve White joined Redstone Federal Credit Union in March 1970, one of the first things he did was help flip the switch on the credit union's new Burroughs computer system.
It was one of the first to send data from the teller consoles back to the main office, he said, and "Now we have more computer technology than that in our cell phones."
White is retiring from $2.6 billion Redstone after 39 years with Alabama's largest credit union. His final role was as vice president of technology. He joined as a computer operator and also was a programmer and manager of information technology.
In addition to his long service to Huntsville-based Redstone, White has been active with the Summit User Group, Alabama Automated Clearing House Association, NAFCU Technology Advisory Committee and CUES.
"We entered the modern world of computer technology as we flipped the switch to turn on the Burroughs. And it's amazing that we have more computer technology in our cell phones today than was available in that Burroughs system back in 1970. It's been great to be a part of the technological changes that have occurred at Redstone over the years," he said.
