# João Ramalho

João Ramalho (Portuguese pronunciation:) (1493–1582) was a Portuguese explorer and adventurer known as the first bandeirante. He lived much of his life among Tupiniquim natives in Brazil after he arrived there around 1510. He even became the leader of an Indian village after he developed a friendship with Tibiriçá, an important native chief at the time. Ramalho played an important role in the pacific interaction between the Portuguese and the natives, especially after the arrival of Martim Afonso de Sousa, with whom he became friends after meeting him in São Vicente, the first Portuguese settlement in the Americas. Some historians agree that his ancestors were Jews from Covilhã.
He lived in the village of Santo André da Borda do Campo, which in 1553 was made a town by Tomé de Sousa, then Governor General of Brazil. Ramalho exercised the posts of alderman and alcalde (mayor) in the town.
Ramalho is said to have originated the first mamelucos (people of mixed Portuguese and native ancestry), an ethnicity that played an important role in the 17th-century bandeiras (westward inland expeditions carried out by explorers known as bandeirantes). For that reason, he is often called the "Patriarch of the Bandeirantes".
In historical records, Ramalho is described as an athletic man with a long beard and a brown skin originating from sunburn. According to some sources, his original name was João Maldonado.
In 1580, Ramalho felt ill and, on 3 May of that year, wrote his will. He died in 1582 in an unknown location in the jungle.

## Legacy

The municipality of João Ramalho, in São Paulo, is named after him.

Wayne Christian led the band, performing at concert venues and ’All night gospel singings’ across the deep south and the southwestern United States. In 1975, the group became a regular headliner on the Wally Fowler Show. The band hosted their own music festival in East Texas, featuring many Southern gospel quartets, drawing thousands of Christian music fans each year. The Singing Christians became the first group to perform and headline on the Kerrville Gospel Jubilee.
Several former Singing Christians members impacted the music industry beyond the scope of the group. Wayne Christian served as president of the Gospel Music Association. Starting in 1997, Christian served 16 consecutive years representing District 9 in the Texas House Of Representatives. Gary Goss went on to travel with Governor Jimmie Davis. In 1986, Goss became the music and tour director for Country music singer Johnny Rodriguez. John Mays played bass guitar for the Speer Family after leaving the Singing Christians. He later served as head of Benson Records and Canaan Records. Emory Atkins became a record producer, singer-songwriter, and audio-recording engineer in Nashville, Tennessee.
After the band ended their career as The Singing Christians in 1979, the remaining eight members rebranded themselves as a Christian country music group, changing their name to the Mercy River Boys.
In 2015, Wayne Christian, Emory Atkins, Danny Hollis, Ronny Ricks, Gary Goss, and all the band members of the Singing Christians and Mercy River Boys were inducted into the Texas Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

# Elov Seger

Elov Seger (June 6, 1940 – March 8, 1968) was a Canadian ice hockey defenseman who was an All-American and helped Michigan Tech win its first National Championship in 1962.

## Career

Seger was a three-year player for the Huskies under head coach John MacInnes, helping the team reach the national championship game as a sophomore. After a down season, the Huskies roared to the top of their conference in 1962, winning 29 of their final 30 games, capturing both the conference and national championships. Seger was named to the All-WCHA Second Team and was selected as an All-American. The last goal he scored for the Huskies tied the game in the WCHA championship and began a 4-goal barrage in the third period.
After graduating, Seger continued his playing career, spending the next four seasons playing in the USHL (then a senior league), but his playing career was cut short when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Seger eventually succumbed to the disease in March 1968 but he was not forgotten by Michigan Tech. The program confers the Elov Seger Memorial Award to the player who has shown the greatest improvement. Seger was also inducted into the Michigan Tech Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998.

# Robert Wright Taylor

Robert Wright Taylor FSA (21 November 1859 – 19 March 1929) was a British solicitor.

## Biography

Taylor was the only son of Robert Taylor (1815-1890) and Sarah Maw and grew up in Stanbury, West Yorkshire. The Taylor family were on good social terms with the Brontë family, and Branwell Brontë had painted a portrait of Taylor's father as a young man. Taylor was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge and worked as a solicitor.
Taylor purchased Baysgarth House in Barton-upon-Humber in 1889 and lived there with his family. An entry in the school log for Stanbury Boarding School in Haworth on 6 September 1912 records a visit by Taylor with his wife and two children. It records that Taylor had just purchased Ponden Hall and that he gifted eight book prizes each year to the school.
Robert Wright Taylor and his wife Clara Louisa are commemorated, along with their son George Robert Marmaduke Stanbury Taylor (who died at the Battle of Ypres), by their daughter Clare Ermyntrude Magdalen Wight Ramsden on a plaque at Baysgarth House. Clare donated the house and its gardens to the public in July 1930. The opening ceremony was attended by more than 3000 people.
Taylor was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London.
