I was on a business trip to DC today.
An older gentleman boarded the train in Philadelphia and sat across the aisle from me.
I immediately recognized the distinctive voice, and looked over, but while the face was also recognizable to me, I couldn’t put a name to either the voice or the face. I have a horrible name memory.
He was being interviewed by a writer of some sorts and the writer had a book on the table. The title was “John Bogle on Investing: The First 50 Years”. Aha!
I was sitting next to John Bogle, the founder of The Vanguard Group, the inventor of index mutual funds and a billionaire.
The man is a true legend. Sitting less than 5 feet from me.
Apparently he was on his way to deliver a speech in fiduciary duty.
