Loeb is one of the last of New York's "Our Crowd," the city's nineteenth- and twentieth-century Jewish establishment. His maternal uncles included New York Governor Herbert Lehman and Irving Lehman, Chief Justice of the New York Court of Appeals. On his paternal side, grandfather Carl M. Loeb and father John L. Loeb Sr. founded Loeb, Rhoades. And his brother Arthur founded New York City's beloved Madison Avenue Bookshop. Loeb's confessions are an open and moving account of the blessings and burdens of growing up in his family's circle of expectations.

About the Author
Born in New York City to businessman John Langeloth Loeb Sr. and Frances Lehman, Mr. Loeb graduated with a B.A. from Harvard College Cum Laude and as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. He received his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School in 1954.
Following military service in the United States Air Force (1954-56), Loeb became a partner at Loeb Rhoades & Co., international investment bankers. Since 1979, he has been chairman of Loeb, Rhoades Trust Company, owned by John L. Loeb Jr. Associates, Inc., Investment Counselors.
In 1981, President Ronald Reagan appointed Mr. Loeb as Ambassador of the United States of America to the Kingdom of Denmark. Upon leaving the post in 1983, Her Royal Highness Queen Margrethe II of Denmark bestowed a knighthood - the Grand Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog upon Ambassador Loeb. The Order was given in recognition for his contribution to the arts, sciences or business life, and his work for Danish interests.
Upon his return to the United States, the Ambassador was appointed as a Delegate to the 38th Session of the United Nations. Mr. Loeb has had the good fortune to meet and work under every President from Eisenhower to George W. Bush, and with Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York. Among his many other contributions to public service, Mr. Loeb is presently on the Board of Directors of the Council of American Ambassadors and has held the office of Vice-Chair since 1999.
In 1994, Queen Elizabeth II of England also honored Ambassador Loeb by decorating him as Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (C.B.E) in honor of his contributions to the Winston Churchill Foundation of the United States. The Foundation offers American citizens of exceptional ability and outstanding achievement the opportunity to pursue graduate studies in engineering, mathematics, or the sciences at Churchill College of Cambridge University. Mr. Loeb has served as chair of the organization since 2003.
The Ambassador's philanthropic contributions reflect his varied interests. He has sponsored publications and exhibitions on early American genealogy and family history, Danish art, and religious liberty in America. In 2009, he founded the George Washington Institute for Religious Freedom, and serves as the chairman of the organization.
Loeb speaks frequently on religious freedom in America. In 2010, he was invited to deliver the Herbert H. Lehman Memorial Lecture at Lehman College CUNY. He was the first direct relative of Herbert H. Lehman to receive the honor. His lecture, "Beyond Tolerance," was an exploration of the history and contemporary relevance of George Washington's 1790 "Letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport Rhode Island."
