PAUL VOLCKER

VOLCKER--Paul A. It is with sadness that the Board of Trustees and staff of the New-York Historical Society note the passing of Paul A. Volcker, a public servant of impeccable rectitude and conscientiousness. It was because of Paul's remarkable contributions to America's financial well-being over a span of many years and several presidencies that he was awarded New-York Historical's first History Makers Medal--our highest award--in 1988. More recently, we were honored to become the custodian of Paul's oral history--in finance and in government--as part of our Reiss Family Wall Street Oral History Archive.
