And then there's the guy who bought, at the annual Glide Church auction in SF, the "Private Lunch with Warren Buffet" for a $million+ donation. Did it two years in a row. They bonded, and now he is the head of Berkshire Hathaway. Another one: I was once told the story of a man applying for a very high level job. He learned that the CEO was an avid model railroader. On day one, the CEO received, anonymously, by messenger, the caboose to a very rare and unusual N-gauge train set. On days 2 and 3, freight cars. On day 4, the coal tender. On day 5, a message that said, "I'd like to bring the locomotive by in person, at the time of my first job interview."
