40 Bostonians We Love

Boston Magazine

June, 2002

This month, Boston Magazine marks its 40th anniversary, a milestone we celebrate by paying homage to our city, with a tribute to 40 people who have helped make Boston what it is today - and 40 more we think will guide it through the future. We also bring you a nostalgic look at all that's happened in those busy 40 years - and what we've lost to the unceasing march of time.

It's the rare company that does well while doing good. Wainwright Bank has invested in affordable housing and trumpeted its recruitment of gays, lesbians and minorities while at the same time aggressively expanding. For its pains, it's received the "Corporate Conscience Award" from the Center for Responsibility in Business while also making the Boston Globe's Globe 100 list of profitable companies.
