Subject: Re: Wow Warren stepping down as CEO
Attended the meeting sitting with a dozen long term buddies and even though we suspected the big news, it was a real gut punch emotionally. The 5 minute deafening standing ovation was priceless, and tears of deep appreciation were dripping down my face and dozens nearby.

Glad he will continue to be Chairman and involved in big issues. We are in great hands with Greg (and Ajit), but this huge announcement will take some time to sink in. WEB knows best and I’m glad he made this thoughtful decision on his own terms. The transition will be orderly.

As usual, Warren prioritized the health of BRK and us owners’ interests more than his own. God Bless him. I cannot imagine the joy he has knowing how many lives he has impacted so deeply and will continue to impact thru enormous philanthropy.
