Sun-Times file photo Jack Sandner, chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for most of the 1980s and 1990s, used to glory in showing VIPs and everyday visitors the colorful, chaotic trading floor he oversaw.

He was involved in the first steps toward computerized trading that would change the character of futures trading, a core Chicago industry.
