Wallace Forbes - Guest Lecturer

We had a guest speaker last week at the University of Arkansas. A distinguished lecturer well known and respected both in the business and financial world. Not only because he is part of an established legacy but also because he is a man of character.

Wallace Forbes, known by friends and close associates as "Wally" is the president of the Forbes Investors Advisory Institute, the division of Forbes Media that publishes the Forbes Special Situation Survey, Forbes Growth Investor and the Forbes Stock Market Course. He is the youngest son of B. C. Forbes, founder of Forbes Magazine and served as vice president and director of Forbes. L - R: Ben, Prof. J. Ozment, Newton, Wallace Forbes, Keerti, Eghosa, Jason, Dev

It was an interesting lecture that saw everybody present listening with rapt attention at what this "icon of accomplishment" had to say which was quite a lot in terms of entrepreneurship and the present financial crisis.

Not to mention there was lots of pizza and soft drinks and yours truly got a chance to have a one on one discussion with him after which some of the MBA students present took pictures with him.

It sure was a nice way to end the week.
