bar: Even though I cannot make the meeting, I will be at a small event this evening with Robert Hagstrom, who wrote one of 2 authorized biographies of Warren Buffet, The Warren Buffet Way. He is in for other appearances in connection with the meeting, and our Financial Advisors are very close with him, so he does a small event for them at our Country Club on Wednesday evening every year prior to the meeting. I met hm there last year. There is a Q&A, so if you have a question, I would be happy to raise it. Mr. Hagstrom is with Equity Compass, and started and runs the Global Leaders portfolio strategy, in which we are invested.
