A Collection of Columns by Scott Burns Still at Large A collection of columns by Scott Burns The columns contained in this collection were published over nearly 20 years by syndication with AM Universal, Inc. © Andrews McMeel Universal for reprints, contact: Andrews McMeel Universal 1130 Walnut Kansas City, Missouri 64106 tel: 816-581-7500 Collector’s Edition, February, 2017 Dubious Ventures Press Dripping Springs, Texas III Dedication To Carolyn, my wife, for her patience, love, and encouragement as I wrote these columns. IV Acknowledgements Hundreds of people contributed to this book. Many are named and quoted. But I’ve had help from other people whose names don’t appear in the columns--- my editors at AM Universal. Every Tuesday afternoon I would get a call from an editor. First Sue Roush, then Greg Melvin, then Alan McDermott. Laura Jacobus, my editor at the Dallas Morning News did the same. Each helped make better columns with attention to grammar and detail. Any remaining errors, however, are entirely my own. V Another kind of well-heeled.

All rights reserved. 3 INTRODUCTION Dear members and friends of eabh, Photographs are a key part of the archival collections of many financial institutions. Their emotional charge, their documentary power, their immediacy and universality set them apart from other archival documents. Used well, they provide an asset for any financial institution. This volume features articles from 17 financial institutions in eleven different countries. Almost 300 photographs provide glimpses of institutional practice over a span of 150 years. The photographs reveal stories about staff members, office buildings, and money; and they tell us about fashion, cultural movements, financial and industrial innovation, poverty, gender, colonization, leisure, and much more. This issue is the first of a series, and part of a wider project to explore the connections between finance and photography. eabh would like to invite its member and partner eabh institutions to join in by contributing to the second volume of the series.

SDreams are inspiring, helping us to reach distant horizons. The sea stirs up a longing for faraway lands, whilst the wind seems to whisper over and over again, “let’s go!” It was sails that once led mankind to discover new shores.

For many years now, the SEA CLOUD and the SEA CLOUD II have been cruising all over the world. Meanwhile, the finest rivers in Europe provide the waterways for our two river yachts, the RIVER CLOUD and the RIVER CLOUD II. Over the years, our passion for the exceptional has never faltered. Now, our third tall sailing ship is under construction, bringing with it a real breath of fresh air. In 2010 the SEA CLOUD HUSSAR will herald the start of a new era. A new dimension in luxury sailing is just beginning. Our course will take us into a future that we look forward to sharing with you. Our sailing dreams are going on a grand voyage.
