Dear Mr. Mead:
It is my intention to retire from the Peoples Bancorp Board, effective October 15, 2010. This retirement is tendered not as a result of any conflicts with the Company, Board or Executive Management, but rather as a result of increased activity in my business ventures. I have enjoyed my 17 years as a Peoples Bank Director and appreciate the opportunity to have served on the Board.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ DAVE M. ARCHER
