Ray Garrett, Jr., former chairman of the SEC, who died at his Second Saturn Return, in 1980, is pictured in the center. He was my beloved father. A Leo. He was the 19th chairman. Here is a website in his honor.
June 25, 2009, family and friends of Ray Garrett will gather in Washington, D. C. fot the Celebration Dinner for the 75th Anniversary of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), hosted by the Commission's Historical Society. Ray Garrett was the emcee for the 25th, and 45th of these historical moments. The museum, archive and the Society are independent of and separate from the SEC and receive no federal funding.
His daughter, my sister, Nancy Worcester, worked harding getting the preliminaries for this grand occasion in place. First things first - the donations. Here she is mailing off the checks via FedEx.
