We Mourn the Passing of Tina Gulland, Wife of Gene Gulland

With sadness I report the passing of Gene Gulland's wife, Tina, this past May. Thanks to Howard Young for passing along the information... I contacted Gene today and received the following note along with this article from the Washington Post.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, Gene.

"It's been a terrible blow to my kids and me, but we're getting by-- and you're right, the wonderful memories help.   Attached is Tina's Washington Post obituary, which can only begin to suggest what a force of nature she was!"

David Perugini's Dad is Honored on 11/11/11

My father, a former member of the 101st Airborne Division, Company E ("Band of Brothers") was honored to represent all branches of the U.S. Military Services by ringing the Closing Bell on Wall Street on Veterans' Day, 11/11/11.  Below is photo of Dad in a photo op at the event luncheon, surrounded by members of the U.S. Marine Corps. If he looks familiar to any of you, that's because my father was the Head Custodian at Ossining High School during our years there. You might remember the familiar P.A. announcement, "Philip Perugini, please come to the Main Office!" He's a cool guy.

Here's a link to the NASDAQ website, that has a bit more in the way of photos and such:
