Following is a quote from one memorial in today's paper: "One of the best Valerie Silver Ellis stories takes place in the early '80's when she was starting out at Cantor Fitzgerald. A senior trader asked her to take his shoes to be repaired, so Ms. Ellis had taps put on the toes and the heels extended four inches. When the senior trader ordered the upstart young trader to redo the job, Ms. Ellis had the shoes bronzed. 'They ended up being friends,' said Brian Hull, a friend and former client of Ms. Ellis. 'She refused to be insulted, she refused to be intimidated. She just worked as hard as she could and she won.'" This is a wonderful story. If I were teaching today I think I would clip these memorials for my class. All you have to do is read a few and you know what was of value in these people lives, rather, what others valued in them, they are terrific. Andrea
