Honoring a Brooklyn Bridge Engineer named Seth Lesser

Seth Lesser was born on November 11, 1850 in Buffalo, New York. Seth was involved in the building of the Brooklyn Bridge as an engineer. It  was envisioned to connect Brooklyn to Manhattan. While helping build the Brooklyn Bridge. Caisson disease, Seth Lesser died of “caisson disease,” known today as “decompression sickness.” It hits construction workers who work underwater, among others. It happens when a person, after having been in the compressed environment of the caisson, immediately reenters normal atmospheric conditions. The Chief Engineer of the project and son of the designer of the bridge, Washington Roebling, was another fatality of caisson disease. His name is etched on the bridge.

To honor the families of those who died the same way as Mr. Roebling did, such as Seth Lesser, a fund was established by the former’s vfriends and family. With both his colleagues and his superiors, he was a well-liked man. Emily Warren Roebling, credited for continuing the project, knew Mr. Lesser’s wife personally, though Mr. Lesser and Mr. Roebling did not have the privilege of working together,

In the afternoon of May 25, 1884, one day after the inauguration of the Brooklyn Bridge, a plaque honoring Seth Lesser, was personally handed to Marceline Lesser, his widow, by Mrs. Roebling. In attendance were their three children, Seth, Jr., James and Thomas.

The Works of French Composer Marc Hühn

When I was sifting through boxes of my grandfather’s old stuff, I came across a stack of old records that intrigued me. I listened to a few of them even though I’m not really a big fan of classical music. There were a few records I happened to like, those records by French composer Marc Hühn in particular which had a somber yet beautiful harmony.

Intrigued, I did a little research on composer Marc Hühn in order to learn more about him. He was born on March 12, 1876 in Paris, France and was actually a childhood musical prodigy much like Mozart. His parent recognized their son’s musical talent and sent him to an expensive school to receive schooling at a very early age. He was mostly known for his piano skills and innate understanding of musical theory and harmony.

Marc Hühn was a prolific composer and composed almost one hundred musical compositions throughout his lifetime. He composed music mainly for the church as well as ballets and incidental music for theatre plays. Another of his talents was writing and he was a contributing writer to various musical publications in France.

Louis F. Albanese Highlights Importance of Right Amount of Diversification

Louis F. Albanese, President and CEO of investment firm Catamount Management Group, highlights the importance of having the right amount of diversification in one’s investment portfolio. L. Albanese advises investors from concentrating their investments in too little stocks and from buying too many stocks.

For Louis F. Albanese, there’s a fine line between having too much and too little variety in one’s investment portfolio. Many novice investors make the mistake of having a portfolio with too many stocks and bonds. This makes it difficult for the investor to properly monitor and manage each of his investments and often puts his total investments at risk.

“Know what is in your portfolio, it is better to have a smaller basket and follow it closely,” he advises.

Louis F. Albanese has over twenty-five years of experience in securities and investment management. Prior to his current position as President of Catamount Management Group, Louis has also served in top positions in other investment firms such as Paine Webber and Prudential Securities. Under his leadership, Catamount Management Group has been consistently ranked as one of the top investment managers by Nelson’s “World’s Best Money Managers.”
