This was taken of Jeff, we believe, on the first day stock index futures were ever traded anywhere, April 1, 1982.

The first stock index futures contract was the Value Line Index traded in Kansas City.  The Value Line Index was the only stock index future traded from April 1st 1982 until August 1982 when the CME launched the S&P.

The Quinto & Company desk was over Jeff’s left shoulder and his wife, Toni, can be seen just to the right of Jeff’s left elbow in the oversized glasses, apparently popular at the time.
