Curtis then relates how he met Bernard Baruch in New York early in Jan 1933 when Bernard came to see F.D.R. on an informal visit.  Curtis states at that time that he is still on the stock exchange floor with Goodbody and Company.  At that time Bernard told him that he was in control of "5/16th of the world's visible supply of silver....Mr Baruch gradually became the best known symbol of vast world money power." (''F.D.R.'', pg 71-5)

"After the restless summer of 1933, I joined the large firm of Fenner, Beane and Ungerleider....Alph Beane was my second cousin." (''F.D.R.'', p 114)

"After the restless summer of 1933, I joined the large firm of Fenner, Beane and Ungerleider....Alph Beane was my second cousin." (''F.D.R.'', p 114) This statement startled me so much I spent some time researching this Beane family.  Apparently Curtis is a second cousin due to both him and Alpheus Beane descending from Josiah Bean (1793-1841) and his wife Olive Sanborn (1789-1867).  This connection still needs a bit more firming up.
