2001 Photos - Wall Street

On the Monday morning of their visit, a select group of Freedom Fliers literally gave the economy a wake-up call. Oregon Representative Darlene Hooley and State Treasurer Randall Edwards stood on the platform above the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange and, surrounded by fellow Freedom Fliers, rang the opening bell. Then they worked the floor handing out “Oregon Loves NY stickers” to the traders.
“Opening the market was a powerful image,” said Mr. Edwards, “symbolizing our confidence in the marketplace.”
