Thus, he knew the founder, and worked under the Chicago office leadership of both Bob Schaffner and David Stern. Maury was active in the over-the-counter trading department and with that experience worked closely with Herb Schaffner and later with Ken Nelson in creating a national comprehensive institutional order servicing capability described in the Chronicle. Maury became a stockholder in 1949, and then a Board member, and retired in the late 1960s, early 1970s. He attended the 1993 Reunion.
