#107 Sol Price (Costco)

About four years ago, shortly after his death. And a few days after we had lunch together. I received a letter from Saul Price. Dear Jim. It's always nice seeing you and experiencing your enthusiasm, knowledge, and commitment to your values.

You've been very generous about giving me some credit for influencing you. I suspect that's true. But you would have been a great achiever under any circumstance. Upon reading his letter, I turned to my assistant and said I've been waiting fifty fucking years for this letter.

It was well known that compliments from Saul came about as frequently as Haley's comet. After digesting the letter, I reflected on the fact that here I was in my seventys. And I'm still seeking approval from this guy. What was it about the man that engendered so much admiration and respect?
