I went to high school with Ned and actually went out with him. He was President of the number one boys' social club. They had social clubs in high school way back then. He was so cute! I then ran into him again unexpectedly in Hacienda Heights at a Little League meeting for the parents - so many many years ago. As we get older, we start thinking a lot about the past. Since I am a computer nerd, googling is a fun activity. I have a wonderful family with whom I get together with every weekend. I feel so lucky to have most of my family close by. I hope life is treating you well, also. Charlotte Hi! I went to high school with Ned and actually went out with him. He was President of the number one boys’ social club.

Ned took me under his wing as I started my career as an O-T-C trader. Ned was the only one of my new associates that attended my wedding to Penny in 1959. We are still married. 4 children and 5 grandchildren Ned joined Woolrich Currier and Carlson which gave me an opportunity to fill his spot at MJT in 1961. We continued our friendship over the years. He helped me get a position as head trader at Sutro in SF in1984. Ned was always a ray of sunshine. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. He was smart and quick. He was well respected. I have been retired for 3 years and just turned 75. And this is what I do at 11pm on Friday night. Bill I began my career in the stock market in 1959 with Mitchum Jones and Templeton.

He never got upset on the golf course, unless it was a short putt for $5. His funniest story was about getting a black market driver's license in Arkansas. It was truly a joy when Merritt brought him to live in the cul de sac. Ned always had a smile for us, and a funny quip. He never got upset on the golf course, unless it was a short putt for $5.

I, too, worked with Ned when we were both at Alex. Brown and I have fond memories of him from those days. Ned was always cheerful - not an easy task in our business - and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I, too, worked with Ned when we were both at Alex.
