n Evening with Peter Buffett in Concert &\; Conversation, with special

Concert &\; Conversa
tion serves as an entertaining and informative look into the life of a man

scussion about the things he was taught, the lessons he's learned, and the
ir effect in creating the man he's become acts as a true testament that li
fe is never a straight road. No matter what your background, Peter's take
