May 10, 1999 Betty Janson's Diary
My entire life, I never knew that I would live this long. I am now the oldest woman in the world. As I near the end of my life and as I lay on my deathbed, I reflect back on the most memorable parts. Certainly, working for Mr. Morgan until his death in 1913 was monumental. I look around New York today and I see his legacy everywhere; on Wall Street where traders still revel at the sound of his name, in the tall skyscrapers that really seem to scrape the sky, and at the Morgan Library where he so graciously donated the books of his study. Most importantly, I see remnants of the past in people’s lifestyles. Many individuals today have become wealthy due to practicing his methods in investing into many different industries. In fact, his company, still going strong as we arrive into the new millennium has just merged with Chase Bank. The spirit of Mr. Morgan, after all this time, still knows how to strike a deal!
