Buffett Biographer Addresses Westport Audience

Alice Schroeder, author of “The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life,” was guest speaker today at the Westport Public Library. Her story of one of the world’s richest men attracted a large audience. Among her insights: “While it doesn’t seem like it, Warren Buffett has a sense of humor.” Schroeder, who lives in Greenwich, was a noted insurance industry analyst and writer who was a managing director at Morgan Stanley. She first met Buffett when she published research on Berkshire Hathaway. Her grasp of the subject and insight so impressed him that he offered her access to his files and to himself.
