Barry Brown ’69 GENERAL COUNSEL FOR OPERATIONS AND ENVIRONMENT, SOUTHWEST AIRLINES
1. What is your idea of perfect happiness? “Perfect” should not be the enemy of good! Time with family, friends or taking deep breaths are all pretty darned good. When the Yankees win the World Series, even better!
2. What is your greatest fear? Loss of a child.
3. What do you consider the most overrated virtue? Any and all of them when taken to an extreme: faith when it is blind; humility when it becomes arrogance; integrity when it becomes too self-righteous, etc.
4. What is the quality you most like in a person? Genuineness
5. Which talent would you most like to have? I’d like to actually know what Buddy (one of my dogs) is trying to tell me.
6. If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? A friend of Buddy’s (see question 5).
7. What is your most treasured possession? My FVS football jersey – I still have it, though not sure it would fit!
8. What are you reading? I don’t read as much as I’d like (or I should), but just finished Go Set a Watchman.
9. What is it that you most dislike? Dishonesty in people.

10. What is your motto? Just another day in paradise!
