donna carpenter attended williams college as did beto o'roake's wife amy, who founded la fe prep school

st patrick was from wales where the grail legend began and the word taffy used for welshmen comes from david who was a welsh saint and daffyd who was a welsh king and which is where bette davis'  last name comes from

bette davis grew up in lanesborough, mass at the foot of mt greylock

president taft, who broke up standard oil, was a taaffe which comes from the welsh name david

taff's well wales

the rockefellers built mt hope farm at the base of mt greylock near where my grandfather c e taft, who was a carpenter and electrician - lived in 1910 the year before standard oil was broken up

john trump's daughter and her husband both graduated from m i t and had lived in pittsfield, mass where the husband worked at g e

john trump created a company to make and sell van der graaf generators after being given tesla's plans after tesla's suspicious death and tesla had been financed by j p morgan but morgan had cut tesla's funding before his death

no one knows why mt greylock is so named but the mythological founder of mt greylock's ilvermorny was descended from the quasi mythological story of king arthur and arthur's sister, morgan le fey, (not la fey as i had presumed - which may turn out to be an important distinction) who many scholars believe to be inspired by the pagan irish goddess the morrigan

there was a real harry potter who was born in north adams mass which is also at the base of mt greylock and he was a fairly famous musician who travelled throughout europe

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

jimmy maxymillian jr, was super smart attending harvard, yale & m i t, and also would be able to think of a good joke here about his cousin the author's average bear intelligence

his father maxy had owned the gravel pit almost on the border between adams and north adams at the base of mt greylock and married my mom's sister hazel

jimmy got the contract to clean up g e's p c bs but as i recall got caught burying them in lanesborough and got in trouble then got the contract to clean the ones he buried in lanesboro taken somewhere - i dont know where pcbs were accepted at a hazardous waste facillity at all back in the 1970's

• the company bounced back and is now a leading environmental mitigation contractor

only g e left pittsfield because of the ongoing p c b problem

lexan was invented by g e in pittsfield

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, american journal of psychology founder g stanley hall, 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
