Hartford and New Haven Railroad - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartford_and_New_Haven_Railroad

The Hartford and New Haven Railroad (H&NH) was an important direct predecessor of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. Its railroad commenced service in 1844 and ended independent operations in 1872. The main line from New Haven, Connecticut to Springfield, Massachusetts remains in Amtrak service.

The grandfather of J. P. Morgan was an original investor, laying the foundation for the long association between Morgan and the railroads of New England.

New Haven, the Elm City http://www.towngreens.com/exhibits/2/page1

Settlement of the mercantile port began in 1638 by a company of English colonists who came from London via Boston under the leadership of the merchant Theophilus Eaton and the Reverend John Davenport, a Puritan minister. The new town, originally called Quinnipiac, was laid out by 1641 on a nine-square grid a plan reminiscent of ancient Roman military camps covering an area measuring a half-mile square. While the eight surrounding squares were divided into house lots, the center square was reserved for the green. This common land was the site of the first meetinghouse and a burying ground.

Because New Haven was envisioned as a thriving commercial port, however, the green was also conceived as a trade center and town square, and was in fact known as "the market place" into the 1700s. It contained the town's watch house (built by 1645), the jail, and the first school, all of which are believed to have been located near the corner of present-day College and Elm streets.

.he common was also the site of the first Yale College building in New Haven, construction of which began in 1717. By 1815 the green had gained the trio of handsome church edifices (all built between 1812-15) fronting Temple Street, which bisects the common.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theophilus_Eaton

Theophilus' younger brother Nathaniel Eaton (1609–1674) was the first schoolmaster of Harvard College. He was deposed in 1639 by the then Governor John Winthrop in what some have considered to be Massachusetts' first Witch Trial. Another brother, Samuel Eaton (1597–1665), was a minister who accompanied Theophilus to New Haven, but later returned to England.

Claudio Silvestri bio http://archive.is/wip/4wdr9

Dr. Claudio Silvestri, Chairman and CEO of The Silvestri Group, is renowned for his success in strategic planning, investment promotion, asset management and destination development, with substantial experience in tourism, hospitality and real estate.

Dr. Silvestri has held management positions in prestigious hotels including the Grand Hotel in Rome, The Savoy in London, George V in Paris and the Plaza and Americana Hotels in New York. He was Hyatt International’s Director for Mexico and managed the company’s commercial enterprise with Valores Industriales, S.A., through which he led the group’s growth, securing key acquisitions and management contracts that doubled the company’s portfolio of hotels in Mexico.

In 1982, Dr. Silvestri was handpicked as President & CEO for Gulf & Western Hotels by Charles Bluhdorn, the legendary businessman who created a multi-billion dollar conglomerate that included Paramount Pictures, Madison Square Garden, and Simon & Schuster. Mr. Bluhdorn tasked Dr. Silvestri with introducing luxury tourism to the Dominican Republic through the expansion and global positioning of Casa de Campo, the company’s 7,000 acre resort on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic. After the 1984 acquisition of Gulf & Western’s holdings in the Dominican Republic by sugar tycoons, Alfonso and Jose Pepe Fanjul and partners, the company became the Central Romana Corporation. Dr. Silvestri continued with the company as President & CEO of Premier Resorts & Hotels, with the mission to grow the company’s tourism holdings.

Jerral Wayne "Jerry" Jones (born October 13, 1942)[2] is an American billionaire businessman and has been the owner of the National Football League (NFL)'s Dallas Cowboys since 1989....

According to an interview with Jones on HBO, after graduating from college in 1965, he borrowed a million dollars from Jimmy Hoffa's Teamsters union to open up a string of Shakey's Pizza Parlor restaurants in Missouri.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakey's_Pizza

Shakey's Pizza is a pizza restaurant chain based in the United States.[1] Founded in 1954, it was the first franchise pizza chain in the United States.[2][3] In 1968, the chain had 342 locations.[4] The chain had about 500 stores globally, and 58 in the United States, as of July 2019.

So Philip and Rebecca Silvestri 's engagement was at Disneyworld and their wedding at Stockyards in Fort Worth https://localprofile.com/2015/10/29/look-who-plano-profile/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Worth_Stockyards

The Fort Worth Stockyards is a historic district that is located in Fort Worth, Texas, north of the central business district. A 98-acre (40 ha) portion encompassing much of the district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Fort Worth Stockyards Historic District in 1976.[1] It holds a former livestock market which operated under various owners from 1866.

.The arrival of railroads in 1876 made the area a very important livestock center. Fort Worth Union Stockyards opened for business on January 19, 1890, covering 206 acres. On February 7, the Fort Worth Dressed Meat and Packing Company was founded. This facility was operated without profit until purchased by G. W. Simpson of Boston. In an effort to produce revenue, they reached out to the Swift and Armour companies to establish packing houses.

On April 1, 2011, the Fort Worth Stockyards Stables were remodeled and reopened. They are located next door to the Hyatt hotel in an original Historic Stockyards building that was built in 1912. These stables offer full care boarding, overnight boarding, hourly boarding, horse rentals on the open trails of the Trinity River and carriage rides. Boarders can ride their horses all around the Historic Stockyards.

The Grapevine Vintage Railroad runs a heritage railway service between Grapevine station and The Stockyards.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapevine_Vintage_Railroad

By far the railroad's most popular event, the North Pole Express runs every year late-November through December. ...

.#2014 and #2016 are two EMD FL9 diesel locomotives that have recently been acquired by the railroad. They were originally owned by the New Haven Railroad, numbered 2041 and 2044, respectively. They were transferred to ConnDOT/MTA Metro-North Railroad for commuter service between New York City and New Haven, CT when the New Haven Railroad was absorbed into Conrail.[5]

New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York,_New_Haven_and_Hartford_Railroad

The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (reporting mark NH), commonly known as the New Haven, was a railroad that operated in the New England region of the United States from 1872 to 1968, dominating the region's rail traffic for the first half of the 20th century.

Beginning in the 1890s and accelerating in 1903, New York banker J. P. Morgan sought to monopolize New England transportation by arranging the NH's acquisition of 50 companies, including other railroads and steamship lines, and building a network of electrified trolley lines that provided interurban transportation for all of southern New England. By 1912, the New Haven operated more than 2,000 miles (3,200 km) of track, with 120,000 employees, and practically monopolized traffic in a wide swath from Boston to New York City.

..The remnants of the system now comprise Metro-North Railroad's New Haven Line, much of the northern leg of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, ConnDoT's Shore Line East, parts of the MBTA, and numerous freight operators such as CSX and the Providence and Worcester Railroad.[3] The majority of the system is now owned publicly by the states of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

..Major freight yards were at South Boston, Taunton, Fall River, New Bedford, Providence, Worcester, Springfield, Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven (the major Cedar Hill hump classification yard), Maybrook (another hump yard and interchange point for western connections), New York Harlem River and New York Bay Ridge (where interchange was made with the PRR and other railroads in New Jersey, via barge (car float))

Haiti, SAE-A Trading, Ban Ki Moon, Richard Branson & The Clintons

We have to look closer at the company that operates out of the Caracol Industrial Complex that the Clintons set up, SAE-A Trading, a Sth Korean business that specialises in textiles and garments with Walmart, (Clinton Donor) & JC Penny being the biggest customers.

Now, apparently Ban Ki Moon is closely associated with them but I haven't found the connection yet. Head of the UN, Ban Ki Moon appointed Bill Clinton special envoy to Haiti to head the relief straight after the hurricane and then SAE-A came on board in 2011/12. Chairman of SAE-A is Woong-Ki Kim, a very influential businessman that has utilised the services of Cheryl Mills consulting company, Black Ivy. Richard Branson has also invested in the factory.

SAE-A, (Clinton donor), has offices and factories in Haiti, USA, Sth Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Nicaragua & Guatamala. They support many causes and fund lots of projects but 3 notable ones are the Tam Binh shelter and orphanage near the Vietnam factory, an orphanage in Guatamala and the S & H schools in Haiti. The Clintons joined Woong-Ki Kim at the grand opening of the textile factory which is not benefiting the workers or the Haitian farmers, on the contrary many farmers were kicked off the land to accommodate the build and the workers spend most of their daily wage on transport to and from the factory and buying lunch. Now how easy would it be to bring in children from Asia and Sth America in containers if you had UN backing?

Meet the Silvestri family that run Casa de Campo - Claudio and Rosthwil Silvestri, their son Philip and British wife Rebecca

https://localprofile.com/2016/01/07/newlyweds-with-a-baby-on-the-way-meet-the-new-owners/

My husband Philip is just as interesting. Born in the US (Phoenix, Arizona to be precise), to an Italian father and a German mother, at the tender age of 4, Philip found himself living in the Dominican Republic..His father, Claudio Silvestri, was the president of the famous Casa de Campo resort, and so Philip grew up enjoying all that paradise had to offer, from golf, to horseback riding, to the freedom of getting around in a golf cart! Mixed in with all that fun, however, Philip also got plenty of real-life experience on internships that took him all across the world, from Japan to Europe. Later graduating from Babson College, Philip started his own web development business in Miami (Boston had proven far too cold), and before long had relocated back to the Dominican Republic and Casa de Campo.

Back in the DR, Philip expanded his web design business into publishing. His first print magazine was CasaLife, the exclusive magazine of the Casa de Campo resort, published in 2005.

A surprise proposal at Disney...we bought a ridiculously large red sparkly Minnie Mouse ring. It was perfect.

On a side note… How we came to “inherit” Plano Profile....

“Once upon a time, a close-knit circle of friends embarked on a Caribbean cruise. Among the ports of call was La Romana in the Dominican Republic, home of the exclusive resort Casa de Campo.” Reminisces Jean Newman, founder of Plano Profile. Part of the group was former Plano Mayor John Longstreet, who, having leased office place from Philip’s father, Claudio Silvestri, is a dear friend of the family. John was also celebrating his 50th birthday and so Claudio, at the time president of the resort, invited the group to celebrate at his villa. (A little background here, not only was Philip’s sister, Jacqueline, born here in Texas, but his parents, Claudio and Roswitha, loved it so much they have had a home and commercial real estate business in this area ever since.)

..Today, just like Toyota, Fedex and Capital One, Philip has chosen to relocate his corporate headquarters to Plano and is managing our DR publications, as well as the web development business, from our offices on 15th Street.

30 years of Plano Profile by Cindy Boykin,Mike Newman,And Steve Beavers http://archive.is/Y0Sp2

In many ways, the history of Plano Profile is the history of Plano. Since the

first issue was published by Jean Godfrey Newman in October 1982, Plano Profile has covered the arts, listed family events, profiled community leaders, photographed groundbreakings and news makers, and shared inspiring stories. As Plano changed, we changed. As Plano grew, we grew.

In addition to editorial content, the ads prove to be another interesting way of gauging changes in our city—and in society.What was popular? What did things cost? What was fashionable—or even marketable?

....In the ’90s, there was an increase in medical ads— obstetricians and pediatricians In particular. There were pages of ads for preschool and child-care centers. Clearly this was reflective of the wave of young families drawn here by the highly regarded Plano ISD and new residential developments.

Re Florence Shapiro:

Anyone know anything about this - Ashley's Laws in Texas

https://www.texastribune.org/2011/09/19/shapiro-wont-run-again/ Florence Shapiro, retired State Senator and "champion" for kids who passed mandatory sex offender registration laws. Well thanks for that.

"Among her many pieces of authored and passed landmark legislation are the nationally acclaimed Ashley's Laws that help protect children from sexual predators," She sits on the board for a county CPS agency and has donated $70k to them. She also went to Israel with George W. Bush.

..See - they let the guy out of jail on a 10 year sentence for indecency with a child and burglary, then he killed a little girl, and this woman gets glory for passing a mandatory registration law? What the hell is a registration law going to do for some 7 year old at a park?

Quaker Steak & Lube has ambitious expansion plans - http://archive.is/wip/8VkNy

"We're going for that '50s kitchen look," said Mr. Longstreet, president and CEO since April of the casual dining chain known for chicken wings and a funky car-themed decor.

With Quaker Steak's 40 locations around the country and an aggressive expansion plan under way, Mr. Longstreet figures he spends more time out of the headquarters in Sharon, 75 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, than inside. "So I wanted something interesting, workable and comfortable. I gave my furniture to one of the new managers."

Career: 1969-70: short-order cook, A&W Restaurant, Sharon; 1971-73: dishwasher and executive chef, Old Express, Sharon; 1977-80: managing director, Restaurant Enterprises, Southampton, N.Y.; 1980-83: general manager, Seafood Express, Warren, Ohio; 1983-2000: food and beverage director and senior vice president, operations, Bristol Hotels & Resorts, Dallas; 2000-03: senior vice president of operations and chief transition officer, InterContinental Hotels and Resorts, Dallas; 2003-09: executive vice president, people strategy, and executive vice president, operations, ClubCorp, Dallas; 2009-10, president, Hospitality Leaders Group, Dallas; March 2010-present: president and CEO, Quaker Steak & Lube, Sharon.

..the corporate base occupies a former freighthouse along the railroad tracks in Sharon's downtown. The management team shares a parking lot with customers and employees of the original Quaker Steak restaurant, which used to be a gas station. About 40 people work at the headquarters, and there are 5,000 employees systemwide, including at company-owned restaurants and franchises...

.. I was 16 and working at the local A&W when a couple of fellows, George Warren and Gary Meszaros (who later founded Quaker Steak), decided to open the Old Express, a white-tablecloth steakhouse. It was in the train station building adjacent to where we're sitting today. I was the chef there by the time I was 17...In 1980, I was in New York and got a call from one of the founders to help with another restaurant they had, the Seafood Express. ..

At that time, they formed a board of directors and asked me to join. So when they called me to take over as president and chief executive, I knew what I was getting into. I knew the dynamics and the brand.

That decision was not difficult, but the decision to leave Texas after 25 years there was. I had been mayor of Plano, Texas, a city of 250,000, from 1996 to 2000.

Remember this famous photo of Clinton in the water at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic?

Bill and Hillary Clinton attended the wedding of Roland Gonzalez Bunster's daughter at their home in Casa de Campo https://www.vogue.com/article/carolina-gonzalez-bunster-stefano-bonfiglio-wedding-dominican-republic

Banker turned fundraiser Carolina Gonzalez-Bunster met Stefano Bonfiglio, who works in private equity at Stirling Square Capital Partners, randomly in a London restaurant in 2011...When it came time to plan the wedding, the couple quickly decided on Casa Pacifica, Carolina’s family’s home at Casa de Campo resort, in La Romana, Dominican Republic.

Her husband Stefano runs a private equity firm Stirling Square which owns National Fostering Group, a group of 14 independent fostering agencies. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7482191/parents-whove-lost-kids-in-shadowy-secret-courts-slam-ruthless-millionaires-cashing-in-on-uks-fostering-crisis/

Parents who’ve lost kids in shadowy secret courts slam ruthless millionaires cashing in on UK’s fostering crisis..

They charge huge fees to councils for fostering which last year was at a record high of 53,420 children - three-quarters of all those in care - with 78,000 placements. Thousands of parents across the country are being dragged into secretive courts each year where social services are removing children in record numbers.

One founder of a £1billion private equity fund which owns a number of fostering agencies through huge amounts of debt is a super-rich socialite understood to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds. Stefano Bonfiglio, 54 - ex-partner of TV presenter Trinny Woodall - lives in a five-storey £15million mansion in west London owned by a holding company based in a shady tax haven. His wedding to ex-Goldman Sachs banker Carolina Gonzalez-Bunster featured in Vogue magazine and was attended by Hillary and Bill Clinton.

The Italian's firm Stirling Square Capital Partners (SSCP) - said to have £1billion invested across the globe and run by investment bankers - boasts on its website of ploughing cash into military hardware manufacturers.

The equity fund's portfolio includes the National Fostering Agency, Acorn Care and Education's fostering firms and at least two military hardware companies AD Industrie and Mettis Aerospace - which makes missile and torpedo parts. The agencies earned £15million in profit last year from fostering and care - money which campaigners say should be going back into the system.

Turnover for the National Fostering Agency grew by an extraordinary 46 per cent last year to more than £100million.The equity fund - which paid £435million for the two care businesses - also uses a holding company called SSCP Spring Holdings SCA based in Luxembourg to route cash out of the UK.
