Here's a shout-out to Howard U. Medicine. Saree and I received our first Covid-19 shots there yesterday, and everyone was fantastic. Please help support a real DC resource!!

Saree and I were friends with Ruth & Marty Ginsburg, and enjoyed dinner with them and the Scalias! C. Scalia's written a great article on Justices Scalia & Ginsburg's remarkable friendship, a lesson for all about tolerating opposing views:

RBG's passing lost us a dear friend, unique person and valued public servant. 4 decades ago, she married my girlfriend and me, a decree still full of vitality! To liberals & conservatives, she set a standard, and made a huge difference, for us all. She'll be sorely missed.

Almost 20 years ago, I was privileged to work alongside the brave, bright and creative women and men of the SEC in restoring our financial markets to full effectiveness. To each of you, I extend my sincere gratitude and deep respect on this special day!

Sadly, my first SEC "boss," Paul Gonson, passed away last night. Paul was remarkarkable--smart, funny and kind to a fault. He'll be sorely missed, but I'm blessed to have known him so well, for so long!

[Harvey Pitt @HarveyLPitt]

@nminow I hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy. I just wanted to give you a shout-out and send you all my best, Harvey

Sadly, Judge Kevin Thomas Duffy has passed. The Judge was a former administrator of the SEC's NY Regional Office, an outstanding jurist, and a friend. He'll be sorely missed. His NYT obit can be found here: https://t.co/iCnp4pOcq6 .

I'm saddened by the loss of my dear friend for over 50 years, and a great American, Judge Stanley Sporkin. Stan was beacon of integrity, enlightenment and creativity. He will be sorely missed, but his memory will live on forever!
