A graduate of Lawrence High School who has gone on to a successful career in financial services and philanthropy will return in Lawrence late this summer for breakfast.

With hundreds of guests to hear what he has to say.

David Booth, chairman and co-CEO of Dimensional Fund Advisors in Austin, Texas, will deliver the keynote speech at the 2011 Community Education Breakfast, the Lawrence Schools Foundation announced Monday.

The 10th annual breakfast, which raises money for the foundation, is set for Aug. 26.

The firm headed by Booth, who graduated from Lawrence High in 1964, today has $219 billion of assets under management. In December, he spent $4.33 million at auction to buy James Naismith’s original rules of “Basket Ball” and announced he hopes to have them placed on permanent display at Kansas University.
