What's in a Name?
"As founder of SLOAN STREET ADVISORS, I am often asked about our company name and always enjoy sharing the story behind it.
My first mentor and lifelong role model was Gertie Jones Richardson, a remarkable lady who lived from 1902 to 1991. Mrs. Richardson was a thoroughly modern woman who worked during an era when few women considered a career outside the home and even fewer traveled extensively.
Mrs. Richardson was an eternal optimist, had a smile and a kind word for everyone she met and was dearly loved. She was particularly well thought of by her son and three grandchildren, who more often than not were located in another part of the world, following the directives of the United States Air Force.
As much as Mrs. Richardson loved to travel, she eventually always came back to her wonderful home on Sloan Street. Gertie Jones Richardson considered herself an ordinary person. We know she was anything but.
And so, dear grandmother, this is my tribute to you."
