beto o'roake's wife amy attended williams college

st patrick was from wales where the grail legend began

no one knows why mt greylock is so named but the mythological founder of ilvermorny was descended from king arthur's sister

morgan stanley's stanley was the son of the pittsfield mass g e inventor of the modern transformer (which contained pcbs)

g e was created when stanley's company merged with (or was stolen from and sold to) edison electric and houston electric which was arranged by j p morgan

vanevar bush was fired from the pittsfield g e for starting a fire in the transformer factory before going on to create raytheon

j p morgan's father was born in holyoke, mass

the company that would become berkshire hathaway, berkshire cotton mill, was in adams mass at the bottom of mt greylock as is crane paper which had made all of the dollar bills used in the u s since the early 1800's from cotton and wool

classic liberal arts college grads:

both steinbrenners graduated from a liberal arts college which was founded as a free college by colonel ephraim williams, as did 8th mlb commissioner fay vincent, 1983 mlb players association executive director michael weiner, expos owner and seagrams owner edgar and matthew bronfman, patriots owner jonathan kraft, pittsburg steelers owner robert nutting, citibank founder frederick ferris thompson, aol founder steve case, singer corporation founder edward cabot clark, eaton corporation founder joseph oriel eaton the 2nd, key bank founder harry augustus garfield, lehman brothers founder herbert h lehman, viking global investors founder ole andreas halvorsen, greylock capital founder hans humes, van eck founder john van eck, random house co founder donald s. klopfer, sun valley conference founder herbert allen, jr currie capital founder peter currie, ACORN founder wade rathke, women's march founder vanessa wruble, newspaper publisher/founder nathan hale (who introduced the newspaper editorial), primal kitchen and primal nutrition founder mark sisson, amy o'roarke founder of la fe preparatory school, a dual-language elementary charter school in el paso, tx

mark sisson was my next door neighbor because the lady who owned the house who was just like the oracle from the matrix only more lovable was the mother of michael harris who was a poor kid whose constuction contractor father had died when he was really young and he got a football and scholastic scholarship into williams and became a lawyer representing poor people in brockton

mark sisson, mike and some other williams kids turned mrs harris's house into a kind of dorm mike's senior year

they had really nice parties
