Frank has known Harold Alfond and Peter Lunder for decades, and shortly after our purchase of H. H. Brown, told me what a wonderful operation they managed. He encouraged us to get together and in due course we made a deal. Frank told Harold and Peter that Berkshire would provide an ideal corporate "home" for Dexter, and that assurance undoubtedly contributed to their decision to join with us.
Frank认识Harold与Peter有好几十年了,在买下布朗鞋业不久之后,他向我提到这家由他们管理良善的公司,他积极地把我们凑在一起,过了不久之后,我们便达成协议,Frank告诉Harold与Peter说,Berkshire将会是Dexter企业最理想的归宿,而这种安全感无疑的是他们最后决定加入我们最关键的因素。
I"ve told you in the past of Frank"s extraordinary record in building Melville Corp. during his 23 year tenure as CEO. Now, at 72, he"s setting an even faster pace at Berkshire. Frank has a low-key, relaxed style, but don"t let that fool you. When he swings, the ball disappears far over the fence.
过去我曾向各位提过Frank在Melville企业23年总裁期间的杰出表现,如今高龄72岁的他在Berkshire的速度甚至比以前还快,虽然Frank有个低调又闲散的Style,但千万不要被他的外表所骗,当他大棒一挥时,球儿可是会一飞冲天、消失在围墙之外呢!
The Annual Meeting年度股东会
This year the Annual Meeting will be held at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Omaha at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, April 25, 1994. A record 2,200 people turned up for the meeting last year, but the theater can handle many more. We will have a display in the lobby featuring many of our consumer products - candy, spray guns, shoes, cutlery, encyclopedias, and the like. Among my favorites slated to be there is a See"s candy assortment that commemorates Mrs. B"s 100th birthday and that features her picture, rather than Mrs. See"s, on the package.
今年的股东会预计在1994年4月25日,星期一早上9点30分在位于奥玛哈市中心的Orpheum中心召开,去年股东会参加人数又创新高突破2,200人,不过这个会场还可以容纳更多的人,会场中将展示我们所销售的许多产品,包含糖果、水枪、鞋子、刀叉、百科全书等,其中喜斯糖果为了庆祝B太太100年生日所推出的纪念礼盒是我的最爱,不同于原本喜斯太太的画像,礼盒上所附的是B太太的画像。
We recommend that you promptly get hotel reservations at one of these hotels: (1) The Radisson-Redick Tower, a small (88 rooms) but nice hotel across the street from the Orpheum; (2) the much larger Red Lion Hotel, located about a five-minute walk from the Orpheum; or (3) the Marriott, located in West Omaha about 100 yards from Borsheim"s, which is a twenty-minute drive from downtown. We will have buses at the Marriott that will leave at 8:30 and 8:45 for the meeting and return after it ends.
我们建议大家最好先向以下旅馆预订房间(1)Radisson-Redick旅馆-就位在Orpheum中心对街拥有88个房间的一家小旅馆(2)较大一点的Red Lion旅馆-离Orpheum中心约五分钟路程,或是(3)Marriott位在奥玛哈西区,离波仙珠宝店约100公尺,开车到市中心约需20分钟,届时将会有巴士接送大家往返股东会会场。
An attachment to our proxy material explains how you can obtain the card you will need for admission to the meeting. With the admission card, we will enclose information about parking facilities located near the Orpheum. If you are driving, come a little early. Nearby lots fill up quickly and you may have to walk a few blocks.
后面附有股东会开会投票的相关资料,跟各位解释如何拿到入场所许的识别证,由于开会当天会场不好停车,如果你开车过来,记得早一点到,否则附近的车位很快就会停满,你可能就必须要停远一点,再走路过来。
As usual, we will have buses to take you to Nebraska Furniture Mart and Borsheim"s after the meeting and to take you from there to downtown hotels or the airport later. Those of you arriving early can visit the Furniture Mart any day of the week; it is open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and from noon to 5:30 p.m. on Sundays. Borsheim"s normally is closed on Sunday but will be open for shareholders and their guests from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 24.
一如往年,会后我们备有巴士带大家到内布拉斯加家具店与波仙珠宝店或是到饭店与机场,我希望大家能有多一点的时间好好探索这两家店的奥妙,当然早几天到的股东也可利用假日逛逛家具店,星期六从早上10点到下午5点30分,星期日则从中午开到下午5点30分,平时礼拜天不营业的波仙珠宝,在4月24号当天会特别为股东与来宾开放。
In past trips to Borsheim"s, many of you have met Susan Jacques. Early in 1994, Susan was made President and CEO of the company, having risen in 11 years from a $4-an-hour job that she took at the store when she was 23. Susan will be joined at Borsheim"s on Sunday by many of the managers of our other businesses, and Charlie and I will be there as well.
过去几年若你去过波仙,应该都碰到过Susan Jacques, 23岁那年她进入公司从4美元时薪的小妹做起,经过11年的工作生涯,在1994年初Susan成为波仙珠宝公司的总裁,星期天Susan连同Berkshire旗下许多经理人以及查理和我都会出席。
