Well.... the whole business is annoying and pompous... I didn't see him that way.
His witt and humour and skill in summarizing the weekly financial activity was unmatched. Wall Street Week was a great show and Louis Rukeyser was a great writer and host.
Somehow, no matter how crazy the market week was, listening to Lou Rukeyser would put the weeks activities in perspective .
I met him in an elevator at an investment seminar a few years back, didn't realize how tall he was. We made small talk and he looked you in the eye as he spoke.
Mr. Rukeyser, thank you for the years of great shows! You were
very informative, classy and honorable. May you rest in peace,
you will be sorely missed. Condolences to the Family. May God
Bless.
