The Merriam Report is dedicated in loving memory to Robert J. Westervelt. Bob was a brilliant investor, teacher and dear friend. He taught me the subtle nuances of corporate finance you don't learn in a classroom or read in a book. Robert's long and distinguished career included executive finance positions at several Fortune 500 companies including Pfizer, Warner-Lambert, Nestle, General Foods and Coty Cosmetics. |
