# Robert Holding

Robert Earl Holding (November 29, 1926 – April 19, 2013) was an American businessman who owned Sinclair Oil Corporation, the Grand America Hotels & Resorts, the Grand America Hotel, the Westgate Hotel in San Diego, California (directed by Georg Hochfilzer), and two ski resorts, Sun Valley in central Idaho since 1977, and Snowbasin near Ogden, Utah, since 1984.

## Early life and education

Holding, a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was born and reared in Salt Lake City, Utah, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Utah. His parents were apartment caretakers.

## Career

In 1952, Holding began work on the first Little America west of Rock Springs, Wyoming. In 1965, Holding and his wife, the former Carol Orme, started the Little America in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and completed construction a year later. For a time they resided in a house on the grounds of this Little America. His son, Stephen, also lived there when he managed the travel plaza. In 2008, the Holdings added a large convention and conference center at Little America.
Holding owned 400,000 acres (1,600 km$^2$) of working cattle ranch land in northern Wyoming and southern Montana.
With an estimated net worth of around $3.2 billion at the time of his death, he was ranked on Forbes's Forbes 400 list as the 155th-richest person in America.
After suffering a severe stroke in 2002, Holding was partially paralyzed, but made a sufficient recovery to continue the management of his organization until his death in the spring of 2013.
On his death Governor Matt Mead of Wyoming said:
   The passing of Earl Holding is a sad day for Wyoming. He and his wife, Carol, have lived the story of the American dream. Their accomplishments growing up during the Depression, excelling in business, and giving back to the state and the country epitomize that story. Earl was not only an icon in business, he was an extraordinary philanthropist. His is a great American success story, because, for him, the two—business achievement and giving back—were inseparable.
Cheyenne Mayor Rick Kaysen said that he could not
   imagine what Cheyenne might be like if we didn't have the Little America resort. The things that we don't see are the guidance that he provided as a human being, as a businessperson, [and] his relationships with many people in Cheyenne over the many decades. He treated people just like they were longtime friends. He leaves quite a legacy.

## Awards and honors

Holding received the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement in 1992 and was the Host of the Academy’s 1996 Summit in Sun Valley, Idaho.
Holding was inducted into the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in 2011.
# Gardner Swamp Wildlife Area

The Gardner Swamp Wildlife Area is a 1,180 acres (480 ha) tract of protected land located in Door County, Wisconsin, managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Land to be used for the Wildlife Area was first acquired in 1958, and the master plan for the Wildlife Area was completed in 1980.

## Gardner Swamp

The swamp for which the Wildlife Area is named after has several different types of land covering it. Land cover types include Upland Broad-leaved Deciduous Forest, Upland Grass, Open Wetland/Marsh, Shrub Wetland, and the most commonly found, Forested Wetland, which covers 442 acres (179 ha), or 38% of the entire Wildlife Area. When the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) began to consolidate parcels of the swamp into a , hunters and landowners in the area were supportive of the actions as the area would frequently flood due to beavers constructing dams along the Keyes Creek, a river that bisects the Wildlife Area.

## Flora and Fauna

The above-mentioned river, Keyes Creek, in addition to bisecting the Wildlife Area, is also classified as a Class II Trout Stream, and is used as a spawning ground for Northern pike and White sucker. In addition to varied species of fish that can be found in Keyes Creek, the Wildlife Area is home to various waterfowl, deer, beaver, woodcock, shorebirds, and the occasional bald eagle.
The Wildlife Area is also home to the critically endangered Hine's emerald dragonfly.
# William Evans (watercolourist)

William Evans (1798–1877) was an English water-colour painter.

## Life

Evans was born at Eton on 4 December 1798 to Samuel Evans, a landscape painter originally from Flintshire who had settled at Windsor. Samuel Evans was selected to teach drawing to the daughters of George III, and eventually became a drawing master at Eton College. There are some views of North Wales and Windsor by him which have been engraved. He left Eton around 1818 for Droxford, Hampshire, where he died in around 1835.
William Evans studied at Eton, and originally studied medicine, but eventually turned to art and became a pupil of William Collins, R.A.. In 1818, Dr. Keate appointed him drawing master at Eton in his father's place. He was elected an associate of the Old Society of Painters in Watercolours on 11 February 1828, in which year he exhibited drawings of Windsor, Eton, Thames fishermen, Barmouth, and Llanberis. On 7 June 1830, he was elected a member of the society and continued to be a constant contributor to their exhibitions.
He made some large drawings of the Eton "Montem", which were engraved. Evans continued to teach drawing at Eton until 1837 when his wife died, and he made up his mind to move to London. At that time the oppidans at Eton were still lodged in houses kept by ladies, known as "dames", a system which placed the boys under little to no control. It being Dr. Hawtrey's wish to place the boarding houses under the charge of men connected with the work of the school, the Rev. Thomas Carter, the Rev. Edward Coleridge, and the Rev. George Selwyn persuaded Evans to take one of these houses and retain his former position as drawing master. This Evans did in 1840, working with great energy.
Evans died after some years of ill-health at Eton on New Year's Eve in 1877. He was succeeded in the post of drawing master to the school by his son, Samuel T. G. Evans, also a member of the Society of Painters in Watercolours, and in the management of the boarding house by his daughter, Jane Evans.
# Garfield Grove

Garfield Grove is a Giant Sequoia grove. The entire 2,902 acres (11.74 km$^2$) lies in Sequoia National Park in the Sierra Nevada range in eastern California in the United States.
In December 2001, the neighboring Dillonwood Grove was purchased by the Save The Redwoods League for $10.3 million and added to Sequoia National Park. Prior to the purchase, the Dillonwood Grove was the largest grove in private ownership. The two groves are botanically the same and now managed as a single grove.

## Noteworthy trees

Some of the trees found in the grove that are worthy of special note are:
* Floyd Otter (tree): This tree was measured in 2001–2002 and found to be the 12th largest tree in the world.
* King Arthur (tree): This tree was first discovered in 1949 but only seen from far away, the hiker had told a ranger that he saw a huge tree. In 1978 Wendell Flint, Bob Walker and Gus Boik found the tree and named it King Arthur. This tree is the tenth largest giant sequoia. Its base, up to about 50 feet (15 m), rivals the General Sherman for total mass.
# Hotel Lincoln (Marion, Virginia)

Hotel Lincoln, also known as the General Francis Marion Hotel and Lincoln Inn, is a historic hotel building located at Marion, Smyth County, Virginia. It was built in 1926–1927, and is a five-story, Colonial Revival style reinforced concrete commercial building. The upper floors are faced with Kingsport velveteen brick. The third through fifth floors are U-shaped and contain 19 guestrooms and 13 bathrooms per floor. It is one of the last remaining early-20th-century hotel buildings in Southwest Virginia. In addition to providing accommodations, the hotel offered space for public and private meetings, receptions, and dances. The building also contained a drugstore, coffee shop, beauty salon, and barber shop.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. It is located in the Marion Historic District.
# Hotel Manning

Hotel Manning is a historic hotel located in Keosauqua, Van Buren County, Iowa, United States, on the banks of the Des Moines River. The hotel's Steamboat Gothic architecture mimics riverboats of the mid-1800s. Hotel Manning was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in April, 1973. It currently operates as a bed & breakfast.

## History

The Hotel Manning was constructed in the late 1890s by Edwin Manning. He was one of the founding fathers of Keosauqua, first arriving there in 1837 and later helping plat the town. Manning established a mercantile store in 1839, then expanded his business enterprise by adding a bank to the location in 1854. However two devastating fires in the mid-1890s forced Manning to move his business elsewhere in town. Urged by one of his sons, Manning salvaged the remaining post-fire walls and foundation for the basis of his hotel, adding a second and third story to the structure between 1897 and 1899.
A grand-opening celebration for the Hotel Manning was held on April 27, 1899, with over 300 guests in attendance, and an orchestra.
Over the years the hotel's location next to the Des Moines River proved to be both a blessing and a curse, as the river flooded the Manning on at least four occasions; the most significant of these was in 1901 when the hotel was inundated by seven feet of water. The year 1901 proved a double tragedy with the death of Edwin Manning. The Manning family continued to operate the hotel for another two decades until hard times in the rural farm economy in the mid-1920s forced the Manning bank into receivership and Hotel Manning sold with its other assets.
In the 1940s local restaurateur Mable Miller purchased the hotel and operated it for the next forty-plus years. Under Miller's ownership Hotel Manning was operated largely as a boarding house. During the 1960s she expanded the business by adding a single-level annex. When Van Buren County's economy became more tourism-based beginning in the 1970s, Miller secured the Hotel Manning a place on the National Register of Historic Places and also received a Federal grant to undertake a major restoration.
On April 2, 2018, the Hotel Manning Preservation Group, LLC, a group of 70 community investors, purchased the Hotel.

## Hotel Manning today

The Manning today operates as a bed & breakfast with most business coming from tourism, hunters, and sport fishermen. It has been restored to appear much as it did at the turn of the 20th century with the lobby and guest rooms filled with period antiques. Sixteen rooms, eight with private bath, are available in the Manning along with a three-bedroom suite. Seasonally, a Sunday buffet is open to the public. The nearby Standard Motel, the 1960s-era addition, and a further two-story addition constructed in 1993 known as the Riverview Inn, offer nineteen additional rooms. They are not period-specific like the Manning, featuring modern conveniences like cable television, high speed internet, and microwaves. In recent years other businesses have also operated out of the Hotel Manning complex, including a tanning salon and travel agency.
# Glass Mountains

The Glass Mountains (also known as Gloss Mountains or Gloss Hills) are not actually mountains, but a series of mesas and buttes that are part of the Blaine Escarpment that extends from the Permian red beds of northwestern Oklahoma in Major County. The Glass Mountains rise 150 feet (46 m) to 200 feet (61 m) above the surface of the plains, and the highest elevation in the formation is about 1,600 feet (490 m) above sea level. The Glass Mountains stretch west along U.S. Route 412 from Orienta south of the Cimarron River. The name comes from the sparkling selenite crystals on the slopes and tops of the mesas.

## Geology

During the Quaternary Period, the most recent one million years, Pleistocene terraces were laid down along the major rivers in this area of the United States, with Holocene alluvium that are at least 100 feet (30 m) thick and contain sand, gravel, silt, clay and volcanic ash.
The next layer was formed during the Permian Period, which occurred 230 to 270 million years ago. This consists of red sandstone and shale which is 1,000 feet (300 m) to 4,500 feet (1,400 m) thick, with gypsum on the outcroppings. The Permian "redbeds" are subdivided into the Cimarronian Series (2850 feet) at the base, overlain by the Custerian Series (400 feet, top eroded). Deposits of Flowerpot shale (180 feet (55 m) to 430 feet (130 m)) that consists mainly of red-brown illitic-chloritic shale, are found at this area.

## History

The first American explorers referred to this feature as the "Shining Mountains," when they saw the formation in 1821. The name Glass Mountains has been attributed to an explorer named Thomas James. James visited this area during 1821, while on a trading expedition along the Cimarron River. In 1875, a transcription error by a mapmaker resulted in the name Gloss Mountains which is still a somewhat common name for the mountains.
The region became part of the Cherokee Outlet during the 19th Century. In 1891, botanist George Walter Stevens, started collecting specimens in the Glass Mountains domain for his dissertation. The University of Oklahoma Bebb Herbarium holds 4,500 samples that Stevens collected statewide. Two cacti he may have collected in the Glass Mountains area are Echinocereus caespitosus and Opuntia phaecantha.

## State park

The state of Oklahoma operates the 640 acres (260 ha) Glass Mountains State Park, 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Orienta on a mesa along Highway 412. The park allows climbers to hike to the top of the mesa via a path and stairs. Picnic tables and an informational kiosk have been installed, and a pond known as Rattlesnake Lake is nearby.
# Glen Eden Lutheran Memorial Park

Glen Eden Lutheran Memorial Park is a non-profit cemetery in Livonia, Michigan and Macomb Township. Glen Eden began serving the community when a small group of investors started the cemetery in 1929. In 1932, ownership and operation of the cemetery was transferred to four Lutheran churches.
The St. Gabriel Mausoleum was designed by the architectural firm of J. Stuart Todd of Dallas, Texas, an international firm with over 1,500 completed cemetery projects to their credit. McCarthy & Smith, Inc. of Farmington Hills, Michigan providers of construction services to cemeteries throughout southeast Michigan for over thirty years provided construction services on the mausoleum. Both of these firms were also involved in the development of the first new cemetery in Macomb County in over three decades Glen Eden East, in Macomb Township as well.
Surrounding the Chapel are four traditional burial gardens, beautifully landscaped and distinguished by specific themes that reflect life and individual character. The Garden of Faith, Garden of Hope and Garden of Resurrection feature individual and family lots while two specially dedicated gardens honor community members who have served during their lives; The Pastors Point Garden reserved for Lutheran pastors and their spouses, and The Garden of Valor which provides a special setting of honor for veterans and their spouses.
In June 1962, Lutheran War Veterans Auxiliary, Gold Star Mothers and Blue Star Mothers, as a special place to pay tribute to veterans, dedicated Glen Eden's Veteran's Monument, now the focus of the Garden of Valor. To commemorate veterans who are buried elsewhere, a cenotaph memorial surrounds the massive flagpole in the Memorial Plaza Boulevard featuring a solid bronze bas-relief sculpture depicting those who have served their country.

# Hotel Montgomery

The Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Downtown or Hotel Montgomery is a historic hotel in Downtown San Jose, California.

## History

In an effort to preserve the hotel, and to accommodate the 13-story, 264 room expansion of the Fairmont San Jose Hotel, the San Jose Redevelopment Agency had the Montgomery moved 57 m (187 ft) south of its original location at First Street and Paseo de San Antonio at a cost of $8.6 million. The total cost of the renovation, including the move, was $25.5 million.

# Weil der Stadt

Weil der Stadt is a town of about 19,000 inhabitants in the Stuttgart Region of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is about 30 km (19 mi) west of Stuttgart city centre, in the valley of the River Würm, and is often called the "Gate to the Black Forest".

## Name

The name Weil derives from the Latin word villa, an estate or manor. The suffix die Stadt (the town) was added to distinguish Weil from various nearby villages of the same name, such as Weil im Dorf and Weil im Schönbuch. The modern name is unusual in that it contains the dative article der rather than the nominative article die. This quirk arose because place names typically come after prepositions that govern the dative case in German, such as in or aus. The Roman origins of the town are immortalized in its coat of arms, which features the motto SPQR.

## History

The village of Wile was first mentioned in 1075, and described as the property of the famous abbey of Hirsau. Weil der Stadt became a Free Imperial City in the 13th century, but had existed for centuries before as an important trading place.
The city was completely destroyed during the Thirty Years' War in 1648 but was subsequently rebuilt, and is still dominated by buildings from this period. The city's fortifications have survived largely intact, with city walls, gates, and several towers.
Weil der Stadt is best known as the birthplace of the astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571–1630), and it bears the unofficial title of Keplerstadt, or Kepler town. Another famous son is the Protestant reformer Johannes Brenz (1499–1570). Due to its surroundings and attractive cityscape, dominated by the church steeple of St. Peter and Paul, Weil der Stadt is a popular destination for excursions in the Stuttgart region.

## Events

Weil der Stadt is a stronghold of traditional carnival, which is celebrated with a parade in the city centre. In contrast to the carnival in the Rhineland, the carnival in Weil der Stadt, called Fasnet, is based on Alemannic traditions, shared by various towns in southwestern Germany and Switzerland.
Weil der Stadt escaped destruction in World War II when a French artillery barrage was called off in honour of it being Kepler's birthplace.

## Notable people

* Heinrich Steinhöwel (ca. 1410 - 1479), German doctor, humanist, translator and writer.
* Paul Scriptoris (ca. 1460 – 1505), a German Franciscan mathematician and Scotist
* Johannes Brenz (1499–1570), Lutheran theologian and the Protestant Reformer.
* Johannes Kepler (1571–1630), astronomer, mathematician, astrologer, natural philosopher and writer on music.
* Joseph Anton Gall (1748–1807), the Bishop of Linz from 1788 to 1807.
* Adolph Schoeninger (1833–1900), American businessman in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; owned Western Wheel Works which manufactured bicycles
# Greta Naterberg

Greta Naterberg née Persdotter (June 10, 1772 – May 10, 1818) was a Swedish folk singer.
She was born in Nykil, Östergötland, the daughter of a soldier Per Callerman and Kerstin Lagesdotter and in 1800 she married the soldier Peter Hansson (who later changed his name to Naterberg). She had an extensive repertoire of songs and ballads, which has been documented by Leonhard Fredrik Rääf. She died in Slaka.
