It does seem long ago that Alex, Mike, Bill and I were playing tennis at The South Barrington club. We all liked to listen to Alex tell his version of what our futures would hold for us. He was usually correct. Alex was only 10 years my senior but I considered him a wise sage not knowing much about the financial world being in elementary education. I will cherish my memories of Alex and send by condolences to his wife and their extended families.
