AUDIENCE MEMBER 00:08
Herb Kelleher passed away recently and I’m hoping that maybe you have some anecdotes about Herb that you would like to share with us?

CHARLIE MUNGER 00:16
Who?

AUDIENCE MEMBER 00:17
Herb Kelleher, the founder of Southwest Airlines.

CHARLIE MUNGER 00:19
Yeah well. Well he was a very remarkable business man. I never knew him, but he was an original and he created an amazingly sound company while drinking one hell of a lot of whiskey and smoking a hell of a lot of cigarettes. This is not my personal style. To do as well as he did with so much Bourbon and so many cigarettes, it set a new record in human life. (Laughter)
