Almost 30 years ago, a group of Rye mothers, who knew very little about stocks and bonds or puts and calls, formed The Riskits, under the guidance of financial whiz Cathy Staley. They were eager learners and she was a dedicated teacher. The group had great fun over the years and never bet the ranch.

While some of the members have moved away over the years, they have remained close and still get together when they can as they did last month.
