NO. 14-3740 CUSTOMERS BANK, Defendant. OPINION Slomsky, J. June 6, 2017 I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Plaintiff Robert D. Sayre was employed by ISN Bank (“ISN”), the predecessor of Defendant Customers Bank (“Customers”), as Vice President and Counsel from June 20, 2005 through March 31, 2010. (Sayre Tr., 37:20, 38:10-19, Sept. 19, 2016.) During his employment, Plaintiff received a home equity mortgage loan from ISN. (Exs. J-2, J-3.) While Plaintiff was making timely monthly payments on the mortgage, he was terminated as an employee and did not receive what he believed to be a previously negotiated severance package. (Sayre Tr., 48:11- 14, Sept. 19, 2016.) As a result, Plaintiff felt that he had the right to set-off against his mortgage obligation the amount of the severance package that was owed to him.1 Defendant refused to 1 Set-offs are often used when attempting to end a financial obligation. A set-off has been described as follows: A [s]et-off signifies the subtraction or taking away of one demand from another opposite or cross demand, so as to distinguish the smaller demand and reduce the greater by the amount of the less; or, if the opposite demands are equal, to extinguish both. It was also, formerly, sometimes called stoppage, because the amount to be set-off was stopped or deducted from the cross demand.

  • James Longstreet and the Retreat from Gettysburg
    “Such a night is seldom experienced…” James Longstreet and the Retreat from Gettysburg Karlton Smith, Gettysburg NMP After the repulse of Lt. Gen. James Longstreet’s Assault on July 3, 1863, Gen. Robert E. Lee, commanding the Army of Northern Virginia, knew that the only option left for him at Gettysburg was to try to disengage from his lines and return with his army to Virginia. Longstreet, commander of the army’s First Corps and Lee’s chief lieutenant, would play a significant role in this retrograde movement. As a preliminary to the general withdrawal, Longstreet decided to pull his troops back from the forward positions gained during the fighting on July 2. Lt. Col. G. Moxley Sorrel, Longstreet’s adjutant general, delivered the necessary orders to Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws, commanding one of Longstreet’s divisions. Sorrel offered to carry the order to Brig. Gen. Evander M. Law, commanding John B. Hood’s division, on McLaws’s right. McLaws raised objections to this order. He felt that his advanced position was important and “had been won after a deadly struggle; that the order was given no doubt because of [George] Pickett’s repulse, but as there was no pursuit there was no necessity of it.” Sorrel interrupted saying: “General, there is no discretion allowed, the order is for you to retire at once.” Gen. James Longstreet, C.S.A. (LOC) As McLaws’s forward line was withdrawing to Warfield and Seminary ridges, the Federal batteries on Little Round Top opened fire, “but by quickening the pace the aim was so disturbed that no damage was done.” McLaws’s line was followed by “clouds of skirmishers” from the Federal Army of the Potomac; however, after reinforcing his own skirmish line they were driven back from the Peach Orchard area.

Moyer State University ofNew York College at Brockport h the night of June 26, 1788, fifteen men crept intoWilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, broke into the home of Luzerne County Clerk Timothy Pickering, and entered the room where he, his wife Rebecca, and their nine-month old son slept. Startled awake, Pickering asked who was there, to which he received the curt reply, "get up." Pickering got out of bed and started to dress; Rebecca left the room and returned with a lit a candle. In its dim glow, Picking saw that the room was "filled with men, armed with guns and hatchets, having their faces blacked and handker chiefs tied round their heads." Once Pickering had dressed, the intruders bound his arms and spirited him out into the night. After a brief stop for a drink at a tavern tenmiles above Wilkes Barre, Pickering's kidnappers carried him up the Susquehanna River into the sparsely inhabited forests of northern Pennsylvania.2 With this night-time raid, Pickering became the captive ofWild Yankees: New Englanders who settled the upper Susquehanna and Delaware valleys under Connecticut deeds and who violently PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY: A JOURNALOF MID-ATLANTIC STUDIES, VOL. 73, NO.

No, leadership is usually a choice—an intentional decision to step up and step out. Leadership is what builds and sustains communities, and our community is truly indebted to those leaders reflected in these pages. Nearly 850 leaders across Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren counties invested $1,266,538 in United Way of Southwest Michigan last year. In terms of dollars, that represents 28 percent of our total campaign attainment. But it really represents so much more. Children are more prepared. People are more resilient. Families are more secure. And it’s all because you were willing to show your incredible support and set the example for thousands of others in our community to do the same. True leadership does not seek gratitude, but gratitude is precisely what it deserves. On behalf of our Board of Directors, and the 84,293 people impacted by United Way last year, I share a very heartfelt thank you. United Way of Southwest Michigan fights for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in our community. And this is a fight we’re sure to win with you in the lead.

  • The Commemoration of Colonel Crawford and the Vilification of Simon Girty: How Politicians, Historians, and the Public Manipulate Memory
    THE COMMEMORATION OF COLONEL CRAWFORD AND THE VILIFICATION OF SIMON GIRTY: HOW POLITICIANS, HISTORIANS, AND THE PUBLIC MANIPULATE MEMORY Joshua Catalano A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Andrew Schocket, Advisor Rebecca Mancuso ii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor In 1782, Colonel William Crawford led a force of a few hundred soldiers in a campaign to destroy the Indian forces gathered on the Sandusky Plains in present day Ohio. Crawford was captured by an enemy party following a botched offensive and was taken prisoner. After being tried, Crawford was brutally tortured and then burned alive in retaliation for a previous American campaign that slaughtered nearly one hundred peaceful Indians at the Moravian village of Gnadenhutten. This work analyzes the production, dissemination, and continual reinterpretation of the burning of Crawford until the War of 1812 and argues that the memory of the event impacted local, national, and international relations in addition to the reputations of two of its protagonists, William Crawford and Simon Girty. iii For Parker B. Brown iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank both members of my committee, Andrew Schocket and Rebecca Mancuso, for their continuous support, critique, and feedback. Their flexibility and trust allowed me to significantly change the overall direction and composition of this work without sacrificing quality. Ruth Herndon’s encouragement to explore and interrogate the construction and dissemination of historical narratives is evident throughout this work. I am also in debt to Christie Weininger for bringing the story of Colonel Crawford to my attention.

  • French and Indian War 1754-1763 2014
    French and Indian War 1754-1763 2014 In the first engagement of the French and Indian War, a Virginia militia under 22-year-old Lieutenant Colonel George Washington defeats a French reconnaissance party in southwestern Pennsylvania. In a surprise attack, the Virginians killed 10 French soldiers from Fort Duquesne, including the French commander, Coulon de Jumonville, and took 21 prisoners. Only one of Washington's men was killed. The French and Indian War was the last and most important of a series of colonial conflicts between the British and the American colonists on one side, and the French and their broad network of Native American allies on the other. Fighting began in the spring of 1754, but Britain and France did not officially declare war against each other until May 1756 and the outbreak of the Seven Years War in Europe. In November 1752, at the age of 20, George Washington was appointed adjutant in the Virginia colonial militia, which involved the inspection, mustering, and regulation of various militia companies. In November 1753, he first gained public notice when he volunteered to carry a message from Virginia Governor Robert Dinwiddie to the French moving into the Ohio Valley, warning them to leave the territory, which was claimed by the British crown. Washington succeeded in the perilous wilderness journey and brought back an alarming message: The French intended to stay. In 1754, Dinwiddie appointed Washington a lieutenant colonel and sent him out with 160 men to reinforce a colonial post at what is now Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Before Washington could reach it, however, it was given up without bloodshed to the French, who renamed it Fort Duquesne.
