“81 Years Young and Managing Millions”
Gail Winslow
Gail Winslow is one smart cookie. Sure she is 81, but her age does not define her. She attended Radcliffe College (before Harvard was co-ed), is the mother of six, grandmother of seven, bridge club member, tennis player, and as the Wall Street Journal article below describes – she manages over 150 million in client assets!
She is a lifetime learner and stresses the importance of education and community involvement. She reads constantly, both on her iPad and the newspaper. Gail started working in the investment business on May 1, 1955 as a “Girl Friday” and quickly learned how to obtain clients and manage their investment portfolios in a firm and industry dominated by men. She is an incredible asset to our Washington, DC office and a real pioneer in the business of wealth management. How many 81-year old women do you know who are still working as an investment manager? When she speaks, everyone listens.

I am lucky to work in the same office as Gail and was asked to shoot a portrait of her for this Wall Street Journal article. I loved the photos of her smiling and laughing, but she chose the most modest photo of the set.
Gail's office overlooks the Old Executive Office Building - the perfect spot to watch the President's Inaugural Parade.
She looks like a lovely lady and how smart is she! You captured her spirit in the pix, Em. Great job!
Thanks so much, Sue! She is a little older than your mom, but has the same kind of spirit as Aunt Nancy. Xoxo
