Gene Estess

Helped people -- via the New York Times. Left Wall Street 3 months before the '87 crash to lead the Jericho Project, which serves the homeless, mentally ill, and addicted. Per the story by Douglas Martin in the April 19 Times: "'I didn’t come home with stories to tell or satisfaction or a feeling I’d done anything to help anybody except myself and my family,' he said . . . "  “'He felt he wasn’t doing anything of great value,' his wife said in an interview. 'I mean in a moral and philosophical sense.'” "Mr. Estess cautioned against exaggerating his dramatic change of life. 'Please understand,' he said, 'it was nothing religious. It wasn’t Godlike.'"
