23 Years Later...We Shall Never Forget

From: Kelly Ripka Date: 09/11/2006 Message: I had the privilege of working as administrative assistant to Bob Cruikshank during his tenure as CEO of Chicago's First Capital Corp., a division of the Equity Group. It's difficult to define the level of respect I have for Bob. He was one of the two true leaders I've met in my lifetime. I have framed a photograph of the two of us at an Equity Group Christmas party against a background of the American flag. Next to the photograph is a newspaper column describing his accomplishments and announcing his death on 9/11. His wife is quoted; "Knowing him, he was taking care of his staff until the end." Having worked with him, I agree with her 100%. He would have put the safety of his staff above his own. Each year since the disaster, the framed photograph comes down from its place of honor at home, and comes to work with me for the month of September. I will never forget Bob Cruikshank and the incredibly positive impact he has had on my life.

From: Jack Stewart Date: 01/11/2007 Message: I met Bob when we served on various committies for the CBOE. His intelligence, knowledge and compassion was something I will never forget. He was one of he finest human beings I have known. I am a better person for having met Bob.
