I started my Wall Street training at the venerable white-shoe firm of Kidder, Peabody, Inc. in 1982.
Al Gordon, the Wall Street maverick who left Goldman Sachs to buy Kidder and move it to New York City was a distinguished lecturer in our training class in 1983. He was a Republican, a learner, a runner, frugal, and was an optimist. Just make the calls he told us.
He lived to age 107. Started running marathons in his 80's.
A legend. Infectious smile, unassuming, slight build, he just never quit.
