  • 3 Billionaires in Indiana See Net Worth Jump $2.3 Billion Or 17.2% in First Three Months of COVID-19 Pandemic
    EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE ON JULY 15, 2020 AT 12:00 AM 3 Billionaires in Indiana See Net Worth Jump $2.3 Billion or 17.2% in First Three Months of COVID-19 Pandemic Meanwhile State & Local Government Services Face Deep Cuts as Congress Stalls on New COVID-19 Financial Aid Package WASHINGTON—Indiana has 3 billionaires who collectively saw their wealth increase by $2.3 billion or 17.2% during the first three months of the COVID-19 pandemic even as the state’s economy was reeling from a huge spike in joblessness and a collapse in taxes collected, a new report by Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) and Health Care for America Now (HCAN) shows. Between March 18—the rough start date of the pandemic shutdown, when most federal and state economic restrictions were in place—and June 17, the total net worth of the state’s 3 billionaires rose from $13.5 billion to $15.8 billion, based on an analysis of Forbes data. Forbes’ annual billionaires report was published March 18, 2020, and the most recent real-time data was collected June 17 from the Forbes website. This $2.3 billion increase in wealth is 60% of the projected $3.7 billion state revenue shortfall in fiscal years 2020 and 2021 combined due to the ​ ​ pandemic. Two Indiana billionaires—Carl Cook and Herb Simon—saw their wealth grow by 26% and 11%, respectively, during the pandemic while 741,000 of the state’s residents lost their jobs, 41,000 ​ ​ fell ill with the virus and 2,500 died from it.

Carl Richard Cook. Without explanation, the case style was changed to Carl Richard Cook v.

Carl Richard Cook was convicted of misdemeanor driving under the influence (“DUI”), first offense, in the Rankin County Justice Court. Cook appealed to the County Court of Rankin County. At a trial de novo before the county court, Cook’s counsel moved to dismiss the case, claiming that the investigatory stop which led to Cook’s arrest was an illegal search and seizure because it was based on an anonymous tip that lacked sufficient indicia of reliability.

    THE HISTORY OF THE COMMUNITY And FAMILES of FREEDOM WYOMING & IDAHO CONTAINING FAMILY HISTORIES STORIES AND OTHER HISTORICAL AND TRIVIAL INFORMATION 1ST EDITION Compiled in 1994-2008 Copyright ©1994-2008 Update date: 5/1/2008 PREFACE This book could not have been published without the perseverance, patience, time, and love provided by Lorna Haderlie. Assistants that contributed time to help type, compile and proof read, were: Judy Clinger, Melvin Clinger, Carole Hokanson, Elaine Jenkins, Annette Luthi, Bonnie Pantuso, Corey Pantuso, Julie Pantuso, Marie Pantuso, Stefanie Pantuso and those that submitted the information contained here within. The Freedom History was assembled from family History's and records submitted by the families, friends, and individuals contained, and not contained in this book. Any misrepresentations by editing were not intentional. The enormous job of compiling this amount of material from so many sources is bound to have created some errors. The many hundreds of donated hours were hard to coordinate. Any omission of material is probably because it was not submitted or missed but not intentional. Any conflicts that may exist between the histories contained in this book may be because they are personal memories and perspectives of each individual submitter. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS History Of Freedom Wyoming 07/21/95 E71 10 Freedom Amusement Hall 09/01/96 E110 21 Freedom Cemetery 10/03/94 E44 22 Freedom Cemetery’s 6/14/00 23 Ruth Haderlie’s Dance 04/25/94 E26 26 Ode To The "Valley" 10/03/94 E46 27 A Story About Polygamists

    March 2017 Newsletter March 19, 2017 Dear Thirsty 13th members, relatives, and friends, The 13th Troop Carrier Squadron history advanced yet again as many treasured items were shared with us. The daughter of radio operator Roy Wicks shared several items, including a scan of her dad’s short snorter which had a surprise. The daughter of navigator Donald L. Pyke emailed me his write-up “The War Years,” with six pages of stories from the Thirsty 13th. The daughter of 1944-45 radio operator Carl Cook shared her dad’s photos, and discharge paper. I devoted almost every moment since the February 4, 2017, newsletter to a full-bore effort to find relatives of members, and it was amazing. I even found and visited a still-living member. I have done all I can for a while, and so devote many pages to summarizing where we are.
