And, I was even more flattered when they pointed out that this slot is usually reserved for the IM Division Director. Of course, after a couple of minutes, it slowly dawned on me that, there might be a time after Buddy left and before Eileen comes on board where IM would lack a permanent Division Director, so perhaps I wasn’t being paid a high compliment at all. But, seriously, I am delighted to be here this morning at this year’s Investment Management Institute.
