Who is Walter Schloss and Why is He a Great Investor?

Walter Schloss started his career in finance at the age of 18 as a runner on Wall Street in 1934.  He then took investment courses taught by Ben Graham at the New York Stock Exchange Institute.   In 1955, Schloss started up his own investment firm where  he averaged a 15.3% compound return over the course of five decades, versus 10% for the S&P 500.  I came across this old Barron’s interview from 1985 on a good value blog.
