Biography current as of induction in 2010

Amadeo Peter Giannini is recognized today as the father of modern consumer banking. His persistence in innovation and respect for the common man gave the world its finest example of banking with a conscience.

Born in California’s Santa Clara Valley of Italian immigrant parents, Giannini left school at age thirteen to work with his stepfather in the produce business.

As he grew older, he saw firsthand that established banks refused to serve ordinary people, especially the large Italian immigrant population.  In reaction, he opened the Bank of Italy in San Francisco in 1904 as an institution for the “little fellows.” After the earthquake and fire of 1906, his bank, the only one to survive the catastrophe with all its assets intact, was the first to reopen. It helped San Francisco rise from the ashes by making loans “on a face and a signature” to the small businesses and people whose lives were shattered.

Addressing the financial needs of the underrepresented in rural areas as well as cities, the Bank of Italy opened branches throughout California, becoming the first statewide branch-banking system in the United States. By the mid-1920s, Giannini’s strategy of serving common people had made his bank the third largest in the country.  Renamed the Bank of America in 1930, it withstood the Great Depression and provided the financial horsepower to build the Golden Gate Bridge, develop Hollywood’s movie industry, and nourish the state’s agricultural development and wine and aerospace industries.

In 1928, he created the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics at the University of California, which supports the world’s foremost agricultural economics library and funds leading-edge research in agriculture, water, and forestry. In 1945, he created the Bank of America-Giannini Foundation to promote medical research into the discovery, treatment and care of diseases.

Giannini changed the face of banking forever, and directly or indirectly, virtually every Californian alive today has benefited from his concern for the state and its people.

A Study Tour to Moscow

The first attempts to lay a bridge between Italy and what was then the practically impenetrable Soviet Union date to the end of the sixties , when Father Scalfi undertook to drive across the country in his Volkswagen. This expedition was made up of two cars, who passed the official map back and forth so that the car without a map would inevitably get lost in some village. There, in the main square, with the hood of our car up (which could be counted on to attract a crowd of curious onlookers), we would start a conversation. The answers we got back were not very satisfying. "We went into space but we didn't see God, therefore he doesn't exist!" And, at the end of our trip, the customs officer told Father Scalfi openly that "if Russia hasn't yet made you sick, you should know that Russia instead is sick of you!" So, for twenty years, Russia kept its shutters closed, without achieving great results, however, because in fact the exchange of people, books, and reports never let up, moving through the most diverse channels, from diplomatic bags to Russian language students. In the samizdat the texts of the Movement began circulating, seminars were organized periodically in which Italian friends participated together with the communities of young Russians brought together by the desire to find a real answer to humanity's question. All of this, naturally, took place in a climate of complete conspiracy: calling only from public telephones, to avoid as much as possible the ever-present microphones in the hotels and boarding houses reserved for foreigners; in the houses of friends, writing information and the most important facts and figures on pieces of paper that could be torn up immediately and, in any case, as a general rule, talking only with the radio on in the background, in order to "disturb the enemy as much as possible." In July 1979, I myself became a part of this chain. A little group of seven friends, led by Father Fernando Tagliabue, set out as part of one of the many group study tours organized by structures connected with the Italian Communist Party (it was the only way to get into the Soviet Union). We were stuffed, under our clothes and in our suitcases, with "compromising" material: Bibles and religious books, rosaries, addresses and telephone numbers camouflaged in our agendas (every once in a while we masked them so well that even we couldn't reconstruct the original text!). There we were in customs, suitcases, purses, and pockets of the group members were turned inside out: our throats tight, we passed along the note we had forgotten to hide from one pocket to the other - was it better to keep it in plain sight pretending nothing was going on, or to stick it under our clothes? And if they frisk you, will they understand you're doing something wrong? What is the best tactic? After a couple of hours of anxiety, we found ourselves all on the other side of the barrier, "in the fatherland," as Father Scalfi taught us to say, and we discovered to our great wonder that they did not find anything on us seven, while some of the others, young Communists at that moment somewhat subdued, had had taken away from them pornographic magazines and other "immoral and anti-Soviet" material. The fact is, in the new world in which we found ourselves, where one had to be afraid if he or she even looked at a church too long (we were still a long way away from perestroika), where the morning classes were used to find out about you (where were you yesterday, who did you talk to, what do you do in your free time…), we learned immediately some fundamentals about reality that here can be breathed with the air: above all, that we have the wind in our sails, and that blowing on them is Another, the one who sent us all the way here; that chance does not exist, because everything that happens is an occasion that this Other has sent you; that every person you meet is a miracle, because in the widespread grayness and lies there suddenly bloom the flowers of truth and friendship, another world in this world. In the summer of 1980 there was a turn of the screw: the friends whom we had met in the preceding years were all interned in a lager, because the regime had decided to clean things up in preparation for the Olympics. And one of them, Vladimir Poresh, answered the judge who had asked him rather dumbfounded, "But really, you have a family (his wife was expecting their second daughter), a good job (researcher at the university), couldn't you pray on your own, why do you want to create a community at any cost?" with these words, "Why? Because for me that was too little! We want the whole world!" A wonderful answer, which helps us to see that Christ is worth your life, and in the meantime for him it was worth five years in a lager and three in exile. In those same years, our friendship grew deeper with Father Aleksandr Men. One day he would be known as the Apostle of Russia in the 20th century.We met this saint, we walked, laughed, ate together with him. The first thing that charmed you about him-when after great adventure you finally arrived at the little wooden church forty kilometers from Moscow where he celebrated-was the luminous smile with which he came to meet you, as though you were a precious gift, and you understood that this man truly saw in you something that you did not know, your limits did not matter to him because he went straight to the heart of the "I"-"I am You who makes me." He is "a man who leaps to meet us from the undivided Church," as one of his spiritual children defined him, a man who saw the positivity, the beauty, the agreeableness of all aspects of reality, who looked at it with clear, investigating, wondering eyes. Among the books we gave him, his favorite was The Religious Sense , so much so that he wanted to write the introduction to the first Russian edition. May 1991. Perestroika had begun, and we had started sending the first translations of the Movement's books through the mail to a few dozen of our friends. All at once hundreds, thousands of letters started coming from all over the Soviet Union, unknown people who had found out, who knows how, that we printed Christian books and were asking us for them, and at the same time they asked us to help them live the Christian experience. One of the "hottest" spots was Novosibirsk, the capital of Siberia: we didn't know a whole lot about it, except that there was a very enterprising young Franciscan there, Father Pavel. So there I was on the airplane between St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk, only because at the last minute Father Scalfi had been refused a visa (the Wall had not yet come completely down). On the plane I found out-I hadn't thought about it before-that there were four hours time difference; that is, the plane would not land at 10 p.m., as I had thought, but at 2 a.m. The idea of finding myself alone at night in the middle of Siberia was not a pleasing one to me, so when at the airport I saw a Franciscan habit I ran to meet it. "But how did you ever recognize me?" asked the beatifically astounded Father Pavel, the only Franciscan in all of Siberia. And he took me home with him to a miniscule, sparkling clean parish house in the grayness of the city. The first things I saw, coming in, were our books on the shelves. Then the sensation that I was on the other side of the world which had gripped me until that moment was immediately replaced by the certainty that I had arrived home. I only stayed there two days, but they were so thick with meetings, with hunger for Christ, with pain for the humiliated humanity all around us, that while the plane took off I prayed with all my heart that the destiny of this people might be fulfilled. And once again, miraculously, a presence would come forth, from a "promised" land Siberia would become a "chosen" one.

Scheffler’s caddie will take a day off from the PGA to attend his daughter’s high school graduation

• Copy Link copied

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Family comes first for golf’s newest dad. That’s why Scottie Scheffler didn’t think twice about giving his friend and caddie a day off during the PGA Championship to attend his daughter’s high school graduation.

Scheffler said Friday’s ceremony for caddie Ted Scott’s daughter, Gabrielle, has been on their calendar for a while. The plan always has been for Scott to leave Valhalla after the second round, then return for the final round Sunday.

“It was a pretty easy decision,” Scheffler said. “He told me at the beginning of this year that that was the date that it was, so I got a backup caddie lined up.”

This will be the first major for Scheffler as a dad . The Masters champion’s own baby boy, Bennett, was born May 8.

Scheffler said his old friend Brad Payne, who serves as a chaplain on tour, will carry the bag Saturday.

“I trust him to rake a bunker more than my buddies,” Scheffler said.

NOT PLAYERS ONLY

Jordan Spieth pushed back against the suggestion that players are taking over in the long-running negotiations between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-funded backers of LIV Golf.

In a news conference Tuesday ahead of the PGA Championship, the three-time major champion, who is one of six players on the PGA Tour policy board, said it was a “false narrative that the players are determining all these things.”

“If you’re in the room, it’s very obvious that players are not dictating the future of golf and the PGA Tour,” Spieth said. “You need to have everyone’s perspective on both sides of it. ... You have a lot of strategic investors that know a heck of a lot more than any of us players.”

Spieth was responding to comments made by Jimmy Dunne, who resigned from the board this week. In a letter delivering his resignation, Dunne said that because players outnumbered independent directors on the board, “I feel like my vote and my role is utterly superfluous.”

Woods joined the tour’s top policymaking body last year to give players six of 12 spots; a year before that, there were four players on the board.

Spieth said he was surprised by Dunne’s departure and called it a loss. He said reports from the “outside world” that focus on the negatives in negotiations that have been dragging out for nearly a year do not tell the full story.

“Things are, unfortunately, put in a really bad light right now, and I think things are actually in a really, really good place, based on what I know, which is quite a lot in this situation,” Spieth said.

PURSUING PARIS

Max Homa came to Valhalla still seeking his first major title after a near — well, about as near as anybody gets to Scottie Scheffler these days — miss at the Masters.

The 33-year-old’s relentless pursuit of one long-sought-after goal, however, has put him within reach of another he’s only recently considered: the Olympics.

Homa finds himself in a fight with Patrick Cantlay and Brian Harman for the potential fourth spot on the U.S. team with just over a month until the tournament field is set.

A country may send four players to France provided they are in the top 15 in the world golf ranking. Heading into the PGA Championship , Cantlay was eighth, Homa ninth and Harman 10th. They’re vying for a chance to join near-locks Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark at Golf National.

Getting to Paris isn’t something Homa thought about much until he realized the math was trending in his favor a year ago. Three top 10s in his last six starts have bolstered his chances, and his desire to be on Team USA.

“Now it’s like on the tip of my mind,” he said. “We were just talking about it actually at breakfast ... I think it just felt kind of not real. As a golfer, I don’t think the Olympics ever feels like a real thing we’re going to do, and then you get a chance, and now I would really like to be a part of that.”

POSTROUND MATCH

Justin Thomas has been given a morning start for the first round of his hometown major .

That suits the two-time PGA champion just fine, because it frees him up to watch a match in his latest sporting interest — soccer.

Thomas is a minority investor in English club Leeds United , which is attempting to get promoted to the lucrative Premier League. Leeds is currently in the second tier’s postseason playoffs and has a home game against Norwich City starting at 3 p.m. in the U.S. on Thursday.

Thomas should have finished his round at Valhalla by then.

“That has worked out nicely,” he said.

Thomas said he and close friend Jordan Spieth — another investor in Leeds — have gained some extra insight into the club from conversations with Billy Foster, an Englishman who is the caddie for Matt Fitzpatrick.

So, does Thomas have a message for the team as it heads into its biggest match of the season?

“My advice is very different than probably anything that would be useful or helpful to them,” he said, “but I know I’ve really, really enjoyed learning a lot more about the sport.”

To prove that, he added: “I mean, right now I like the fact that they’re playing at (home at) Elland Road. I know that they’re a tough team to beat there, so I’m excited to watch.”
