to Monte's sweet wife -- Kay -- for her loss. Many years ago, he took me under his wing to learn the art of trading chips. He was so knowledgeable, had a system and was a fair trading partner. Kay was his guiding light when it came to making sure he really needed a chip or two. She had a laptop, and could tell him quickly that you need that one or you already have it. Off the trading floor, he was a very interesting person to talk to about chip collecting, and the two of them were really nice conversationalists. It was fun visiting with them. Monte's absence will be greatly missed, and our prayers are for Almighty God to grant his family solace and understanding during this difficult time. RIP, my friend.
