So Long to Superbanker Of CitiCorp: Walter Wriston

My condolences to the Wriston family and friends. I agree with Larry Kudlow that Walt Wriston was "a truly good and great man." I worked for Wriston (under John Reed) in the early 1970s when he had just begun the monumental task of consolidating computer and back-office methods to support re-invented money exchange systems (ATMs, etc.). His vision was remarkable but his honesty, integrity, fairness, grit and determination were most prominent and most appreciated by those around him. -- More at Kudlow's Money Politic$
