Subject: My 68th Birthday Party
     This is what makes life so much fun. This is the so-called "Rees-Clark Team" at Merrill Lynch celebrating my 68th birthday. On the left is my assistant Denise (who has worked with me at 3 firms over 23 years) - then me of course - and on the right my business partner Cindy Clark (who I have known since 1984...27 years ). Of course they were MUCH younger back when. This is the way you get to 68 in this business - being surrounded by people who simply make every day a lot of fun. I really owe Denise an awful lot as it's very unique in this business to have someone not only stick with you that long - but, be willing to go with you to different firms. I chose the first firm we changed to - Denise chose the second and I followed her advice.
