Roger Berlind was a successful man, despite several setbacks in his life. He majored in English at Princeton University and was involved in the Triangle Club, which put together musical productions.
Berlind served in the U. S. Army until 1954. He was a fluent pianist who played by ear. He pursued songwriting, but was unable to sell his music to publishers.
Despite knowing little about the world of finance, he interviewed for various positions on Wall Street. After many rejections, a firm finally picked him up.
Berlind would go on to create a small investment firm with friends. The firm later became swept up in a merger, followed by more deals. Berlind eventually became a chief executive and was successful.
But then his entire world fell apart.
