In reply to the discussion: Student from Keystone state scores perfect SAT score [View all]DFW
(54,057 posts)19. There was a guy like that in a high school I attended for 2 years
Other kids were following him around like he was a rock star. He wasn't an entertainer, just brilliant, and everyone knew it. He ended up being the number 2 guy at the Federal Reserve at one point. Our paths crossed again very briefly in South Carolina about 12 years ago. His name was Roger Ferguson. I have no idea what he's doing now--probably pulling in a billion a year at some investment bank, or something like that.
