Tall Trees – The First Shy Blush of Autumn – Scranton, PA
© Frank H. Jump
The first shy blush of autumn
Flushed across the long faces
Of lush & lumbering late summer maples
Framing the valleys near North Scranton.
Rocky bluffs along the byways
Still bleed from the blinding torrents of Irene,
Shiny and black in the skewed & slanting sun.
Rebounding registrants reconnoiter their rolling reflections
Returning from respites at home
Or remote retreats with relatives.
Cars flashing past these sedimentary mirrors-
Surfaces which sometimes reveal fossil shells & skeletons
From a sometime Cenozoic life perhaps
Once a pre-Sargassoan northwestern sea floor.
Within weeks a bashful blush becomes a crimson flood
Bordering on bittersweet, burnt orange and soon ochre-
An evanescent process but picoseconds compared
To the protracted persistence from primordial progressions
Of paleolithic petrification.
Abacus Federal Savings Bank – Chinatown, NYC
© Frank H. Jump
Abacus Federal Savings Bank (國寶銀行) is a Chinese American bank in the United States founded in December, 1984 by a group of business leaders from the Chinese community in New York City. The founders’ original purpose was to provide banking services to immigrants and local residents of lower Manhattan. As the Chinese immigrant population grew in the 1980s and 1990s, the Bank retained its original mission, but expanded its size and scope. It now has 6 branches covering New York , New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Besides the traditional banking services, it also offers insurance and securities through its subsidiaries. Abacus is federally chartered. Its mortgage and other services extend to all states in the United States. – Wikipedia

April 2011 © Frank H. Jump
William Warren Scranton was Governor of PA from 1963 – 1967. Although Scranton was originally from Madison, Connecticut, it was by chance he was born there at his family’s vacation home. Much of Scranton’s political and business careers centered in Scranton, Pennsylvania for which his ancestors were the founders and patriarchs. Scranton was president of Northeastern National Bank & Trust Company as well as serving on the boards of directors of high profile American corporations such as A&P, IBM, The New York Times, Pan American Airways, and the H.J. Heinz Company.Scranton also had affiliation with the Trilateral Commission and was asked to chair the President’s Commission on Campus Unrest after the Kent State shootings in 1970.¹
