Tom Roulston and his Cleveland brokerage house, Roulston & Co., were lauded by The Cleveland Plain Dealer. In an article bv its financial editor, the paper described Tom who started the firm just last year, as a'"young, hard-hitting and hard-workmg broker" The story went on: "It has been estimated that the new firm was in the first six or seven of the 30 Cleveland member firms of the Midwest Stock Exchange in volume of business there during its first three months. Since then, Roulston & Co. also is believed to have accounted for as much as 3% of total business on that exchange in a 10-day period. Midwest trading runs around 175,000 shares daily." Tom was quoted as stating: the firm "does not indulge in the common practice of daily trading stocks for its own account, a practice we believe often creates conflicts of interest with clients' orders."

John, who's pursuing his Ph.D. at Duke, disclosed to an astonished world that it was not Washington who accepted the British surrender at Yorktown, but Lincoln. According to The Herald, John explained that Cornwallis, to avoid the "indignity" of surrendering personally to Washington, without notice sent one of his generals to stand in. When Washington saw the substitute, a General O'Hara, John said, he "quickly designated General Lincoln. General Lincoln proffered his hand and touched the sword of Cornwallis held by General O'Hara."
