Gordon Celebrates a Century
Albert H. Gordon (MBA '25)
On July 21, Albert H. Gordon (MBA '25) celebrated his 100th birthday with a group of about thirty family members and friends at Fishers Island, New York. In honor of the day and as a tribute to Gordon, a lifelong athlete who ran his first marathon at the age of 81, the Gordon family organized a 100-mile relay race that began at 4:30 a.m. and finished at 8:30 p.m. Twenty family and community members participated, each running four to eight miles.
Gordon, the legendary Wall Street figure whose career at Kidder, Peabody spanned six decades, was in fine spirits and excellent health. He still keeps an office at Deltec Asset Management in New York, a Kidder spin-off run by his son, John R. Gordon (MBA '74). At an office celebration at Deltec, Gordon's nephew snapped this photo of his uncle two days prior to his birthday.
On campus last year for his 75th Reunion, Gordon told the Bulletin his secret for how to live a long and happy life: "Keep moving."
