"It would be far more satisfying if we could
have with us some of the wonderful people
that have built this agency and on whose legacy
we thrive. For many of us, that is what we are
really remembering and dreaming of. But we
must do the best we can. And the best is to
honor their memory and keep alive the strong
tradition of honor, professional excellence, and
devotion to the public interest that is our heritage." -- reported by Harvey Pitt [SEC Employee's News]
