Olean

Yeah.

Remember the days that I would come to Olean and try to train this one person? Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

We hired a tax person.

St. Bonaventure transfer Buddy Simmons is going to be the backup point guard.

He made a slew of threes last year in Olean.

And Jake Fegan, a transfer from Cornell, is another guy who should give Villanova a certified gunner off the bench.

He had 15 on five made threes last Sunday in an exhibition game win at Rutgers.

Thank you very much.

Did you know that Olean is offering people $4,000 to move there? Holy cow.

Oh, I'm going.

Lexi Jennings already was thinking about moving back home when she saw a Facebook ad for a relocation incentive to her hometown of Olean.

The 30-year-old licensed marriage therapist and couples counselor had left Western New York the day after she graduated from St. Bonaventure with her psychology degree.

and she moved to Denver where she felt she would have more professional opportunities.

People are still there that I grew up around and it just feels more safe.

She had her doubts about the ad's legitimacy, but she applied anyway.

This is my Francis, the historical Francis.

And what was the point at which I knew I had to write a history of Francis? I was in the library of the Franciscan Institute in Olean, New York, at St.

Bonaventure's.

They'd given me a whole row house, no, a whole duplex, half a duplex to live in.

She has to go to Buffalo.

Gwight said she had heard a similar story several days prior in Olean, where an attendee approached her about an hour-long drive for her husband to obtain bladder cancer treatment in Wyoming County.

Walcott said she would seek state incentives to bring and keep health care facilities to rural areas.

We are smack dab between Buffalo and Rochester, so why do we not have more resources, she said.

This was 1978, and I met some guys there, you know, from different parts of, uh...

Well, one guy was from Olean, New York, and another guy was from, uh, uh, somewhere in Pennsylvania.

Anyways One guy in particular from Poughkeepsie, New York, his name was George Pignato.

And George Pignato-

Amen.

And I, I, me and my sister just seen him out on the streets of Olean.

Amen.

And he was out there doing these things, and I felt horrible, 'cause you know why? He's gonna destroy his life.

Yeah.

Yeah, like, yeah, I remember one night we were out having a good time, partying up in Olean, New York.

And, um, we had a great night, absolutely great night, and we came home, and I don't know what it was that set him off or whatever, and he just, like, grabbed ahold of my shirt and just, like, ripped my shirt right open and right off of me.

And I was like, and he locked the door of the house, and he wasn't going to let me back in.
