OMAHA, Neb. – In a story April 30 about Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholders meeting, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Fabio Rivera is a student at the University of Arkansas. He attends Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas.

A corrected version of the story is below:

A shareholder exclaimed “There he is” as he joined the throng of people surrounding Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett at the booth displaying aviation parts and other products made by Precision Castparts.

Buffett was again surrounded by dozens of shareholders trying to get close enough to take a picture as he toured the exhibit hall at Berkshire’s annual meeting. The 85-year-old investor is treated like a rock star at the event.

Harding University student Fabio Rivera says he and some friends drove up from Searcy, Arkansas to attend the meeting to hear Buffett talk.

Rivera says he wishes he had opportunities to see top business leaders like this in his home country of Honduras.
