Each year since then, as I set up the increasingly rickety stable with the same old hay from our neighbor's farm, and position the figurines in their appointed places, I hear the child my daughter was at 5 giving voice to them, intuitively finding her way through the upheaval in her life, as children often do.
Why would a company whose offices were in New York, at 210 Broadway, and most of whose shareholders were also in New York, choose to have its annual meeting in a place that most New Yorkers could get to only after taking an overnight train to Pittsburgh and then a cold, rickety local train ninety miles north?
