<...there is something to be said for 'culture' and maintaining a productive company against those
who would come in and strip it for parts (see: Eddie Lambert). I view these two as a step in that direction.
I may be wrong, or they may not be successful, but two on a board of 14 does not seem unholy.>

Agree 100! It's about that Buffett culture. I want a little bit of that Buffett DNA on the board.

Warren has said that Howard and Susie both understand the company's distinctive culture and are invested in its long-term success.
I concur, who better to protect and maintain their Dad's legacy?

Larry Cunningham says, 'Susie obviously knows Berkshire better than anyone and spends way more time with him than anyone else,
even his wife, and knows the culture and the do's and don'ts, and she is also tough. When he leaves, we know there won't be
exceptions or exemptions or waivers around core principles. She will speak up for that.'

Lastly, I do find it remarkable how every decision the greatest financial mind in the history makes is questioned endlessly...such is life!

Carpe Diem Shrewds!
