My day with my friend
Today, 1/10/10, I went to a friend’s house. It was the last time that I was going to go to a student’s house until I traveled again so I knew that he HAD to do something special for me.
After that we read a book about famous Pennsylvanians.
I absolutely loved it so I asked him if we could research my favorite character, Gifford Pinchot. He was actually Pennsylvania Governor 2 TIMES and he tried as hard as he could to cut government spending. Some times he did not even take his salary! He made a huge impact in PA. I’m glad I got to learn about him.
Now I have a question for you. Does your state have famous people that still effect you today and how?
Signing off,
Wally
George Norris is really important for the farmers in the state of Nebraska. It used to be that you could only have electricity in your house if you lived in a town or city. George Norris thought the people who lived in the country should have electricity too. When George was in the NE Legislature he passed a law that said that rural (farming) areas should have electricity available too.
