  Most Fed chairs who're around for a recession become a household name, at least for a little while. Which ends up being an awful lot of them since they tend to serve a while. See also: Ben "helicopter" Bernanke; Paul Volcker. And yeah, it's because they do tend to be similarly active, or at least very much in the public eye, when recessions hit.
