Raymond Lee R. This article appeared in the Watertown Public Opinion tonight. I assume it will be in all the newspapers, television and radio. I will type it exactly as the article was written.

"WATERTOWN NATIVE 'MOST POWERFUL' Lee Raymond, Watertown High School class of 1956, has been named one of the 10 most powerful people in business by Fortune magazine.

The Christian Science Monitor reported that Raymond, Exxon Mobil, was number six in the list topped only by Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Lee Scott (WalMart), Sanford Weill (Citigroup), and Rupert Murdoch (News Corp.).

Rankings were based on the individuals ability to affect the behavior of others in a company, industry or the world at large, according to the magazine."

That's quite an accomplishment, I would say!!!
