Major General "James Wolfe" was a British Army officer, known for his training reforms but remembered chiefly for his victory over the French at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham/Battle of Quebec in Canada in 1759. The son of a distinguished general, Lieutenant-General Edward Wolfe, he had received his first commission at a young age and saw extensive service in Europe where he fought during the War of the Austrian Succession. His service in Flanders and in Scotland, where he took part in the suppression of the Jacobite Rebellion (1745)/Jacobite Rebellion, brought him to the attention of his superiors. The advancement of his career was halted by the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748)/Peace Treaty of 1748 and he spent much of the next eight years on garrison duty in the Scottish Highlands. Already a brigade major at the age of eighteen, he was a lieutenant-colonel by the age of twenty-three.

I'm hoping that Penn State will one day be able to find a cure for cancer. Being a part of THON means I'm doing my part to find that cure.

I can't wait. I just want it to be here.

Business is being hurt. We must make some changes.

Bob was always a joker with me, ... I was his boss, but you'd never know it.

But I ran and he said he didn't want to run against me, ... We're too good of friends for that.
