1. THE FOUNDER OF THE BANK OF NORTH AMERICA WAS A.P. GIANNINI.

money to people who don’t need it. Amadeo

of Italian immigrants. He was only seven
years old when he saw his father killed in a
fight with another man over a dollar.
2. COLONEL FRANCESCO VEGO WAS ON THE NORTHWEST EXPEDITION.
Terre Haute is the county seat of Vigo County which is named after Colonel Francis Vigo. Francis Vigo was born under the name Giuseppe Maria Francesco Vigo in Mondovi,Italy in 1747. While he was in New Orleans he became interested in the fur trading business. In 1772, he established a fur trading business among the Native Americans in St. Louis. At the same time he was also a secret agent for the Spanish governor. In 1778, Vigo decided to help the Americans during the American Revolution. After George Rogers Clark captured Kaskaskia, Vigo began providing funding, supplies, and pertinent information to Clark. With this help from Vigo, Clark was able to recapture Vincennes in 1779. Vigo became an American citizen when he settled in Vincennes in 1783. In 1801, he petitioned the U.S. Congress for land in order to start what is now Vincennes University. In 1818 Vigo County Indiana was renamed after Colonel Vigo. The bell at the Vigo County Courthouse was bought using money that was provided from the government after he died as compensation for his efforts in the Revolutionary War. He lived to the old age of 89 and is buried in Vincennes.

I recently picked a new primary care physician. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing "fairly well" for my age.
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him," Do you think I'll live to be 80?"
He asked, "Do you smoke tobacco or drink beer or wine?" "Oh no," I replied. "I'm not doing drugs, either." Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?" I said, "No, my other Doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy."
"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?" "No, I don't," I said.
He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?" "No," I said. "I don't do any of those things."
He looked at me and said, "Then why do you want to live to 80?"

What causes Leaves to change Color
Not all trees turn to vivid colors in the Fall. Several factors contribute to
change of color including temperature, precipitation and soil moisture.
That’s one of the reasons I always welcome the rain. The main reason
for the change though, is light or rather lack there of.
