Today Jimmy received a Doctorate of Music, Honoris Causa, from the University of Miami today. He was also their commencement speaker. The video of Jimmy's speech is available on the University of Miami livestream page. (I also have a recording of it in case it ever goes away.) I have also posted a few screenshots of Jimmy during the ceremony to the BuffettNews Facebook group.
The presenter was Donna Shalala, President of the University of Miami and former United States Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Shalala also used to be some sort of a muckety-muck at the University of Wisconsin-Madison before she got tapped by Bill Clinton to take over the cabinet post. -"BB"-
"I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead." "Some of it's magic, and some of it's tragic, but I've had a good life all the way."

She was the head of Health & Human Services. I remember my dad talking about her here and there when he worked at NIH when I was a young. She was his boss' boss.
