SPEAKER: HARVEY PITT chairman SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

"I have a special affection for Chicago, as a city, and Northwestern as a wonderful and rightfully esteemed educational institution. My professional mentor and "father" was Ray Garrett, Jr., a prominent Chicagoan and a distinguished Chairman of the agency I am now privileged to Chair. Ray loved Chicago, and through his eyes, I came to do the same. Each day, I find myself imbued with more of Ray's interests, preferences, idiosyncrasies, and avocations, and it is a special honor for me to hold the same position he held three decades ago. I only wish Ray were here as I try to follow in his rather large footsteps."
