  Charles G. Abbot
Abbot graduated from MIT in 1894, and being skilled at laboratory work, he came to the attention of Samuel Pierpont Langley, who was looking for an assistant at the Smithsonian's Astrophysical Observatory.
When Abbot retired as APO director and as Smithsonian Secretary in 1944, setting a precedent as the first Smithsonian Secretary not to die in office, most but not all of the great cataloguing projects were gone and the discipline was undergoing profound change.
Abbot provided most of the research funds for the work of Robert Goddard, who was the developer of the liquid-fuel rocket and is considered the father of the space age.

 Hatto I - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
In 899, when Arnulf died, Hatto became regent of Germany, and guardian of the young king, Louis the Child, whose authority he compelled Zwentibold, king of Lorraine, an illegitimate son of Arnulf, to recognize.
He died on the 15th of May 913, one tradition saying he was struck by lightning, and another that he was thrown alive by the devil into the crater of Mount Etna.
This Hatto built the church of St George on the island of Reichenau, was generous to the see of Mainz and to the abbeys of Fulda and Reichenau, and was a patron of the chronicler Regino, abbot of Priim.

 Orestes Brownson Society - Monastery of La Cava
The remains of these venerable abbots repose in the church originally built by their hands, and are justly venerated as the relics of saints.    Under their direction, the abbey increased in reputation, and many of the inhabitants of the neighbouring valleys came to put themselves under its protection.
The origin of the town of Cava is usually dated, according to Eustace, from the inva­sion of Genseric, and the destruction of the neighbouring town of Marciana, whose inhabitants took shelter in the mountains, and, at the persuasion of the abbot, settled around the monas­tery.
The Abbot Costabile, by the erection of Castel Abate, pro­vided a refuge for the inhabitants of Licosia, as Peter Pappa-carbone had done for the vassals of the convent spread over the Marcine valley by the construction of the stronghold called Corpo della Cava.
