George Hall Dixon, Jr. (October 7, 1920 – June 28 2013) served as President of First National Bank of Minnesota and First Bank Systems (now US Bank), and Deputy Secretary of the Treasury under Gerald Ford.
Following the declaration of war on Japan, Dixon enlisted in the United States Army as a private. He soon became a lieutenant and served first as a riflery instructor. He was later sent over to the European theater and served under General Omar Bradley in the quartermaster corps, head of a segregated unit of supply vehicles that played an integral part in the campaign against the Nazis, including at the Battle of the Bulge. He remained in Europe with the Army for a year after the war ended, and was eventually discharged as a captain.
George Garfield Hall (born 5 March 1925), is an applied mathematician and scientist of distinction, known for original work and contributions to the field of Quantum chemistry.
George William Hall (March 29, 1849 – June 11, 1923) was a professional baseball player who played in the National Association and later the National League. Born in Stepney, England, Hall later immigrated to the U.S. He made his professional debut on May 5, 1871.
Early career
Hall began his professional career with the Washington Olympics of the National Association in 1871, hitting .294 in 32 games. He moved onto the Baltimore Canaries for the 1872 and 1873 seasons, hitting .336 and .345 respectively. Playing mostly center field up to this point, he moved around from center to right field the following year when he played for the 1874 Champions, the Boston Red Stockings. After just one season with the Red Stockings, he moved on to play for the Philadelphia Athletics where he had another good season at the plate, hitting .299, and four home runs, which was good for second place behind Jim O'Rourke's six.
National League
After the 1875 season the National Association folded, leaving room for a new league to begin. In 1876, the National League came into existence, the first official "Major League". Hall's team, the Athletics, followed that movement with very little success, finishing seventh out of eight teams. One of the bright spots that year for the Athletics was the hitting prowess of their star hitter, George Hall. He led the team in almost all major hitting categories including a .366 batting average, 51 runs scored, and a league leading five home runs. On June 17, 1876, he became the first Major League baseball player to hit two home runs in one game. Those five home runs stood as the single season home run record until Charley Jones hit nine in 1879.

Musicians that played in the band included Johnny Guarnieri (p), Nick Fatool (d), Tony Motolla (g) and Doc Goldberg (b). In 1941, Hall officially turned the baton over to Dolly and the band was renamed Dolly Dawn and the Dawn Patrol. But in less than a year, as musicians began to be drafted, the orchestra was disbanded.

George Hall Dixon, Jr. (October 7, 1920 – June 28 2013) served as President of First National Bank of Minnesota and First Bank Systems (now US Bank), and Deputy Secretary of the Treasury under Gerald Ford.
Following the declaration of war on Japan, Dixon enlisted in the United States Army as a private. He soon became a lieutenant and served first as a riflery instructor. He was later sent over to the European theater and served under General Omar Bradley in the quartermaster corps, head of a segregated unit of supply vehicles that played an integral part in the campaign against the Nazis, including at the Battle of the Bulge. He remained in Europe with the Army for a year after the war ended, and was eventually discharged as a captain.
For DonovanDixon, being named a Rhodes Scholar is just another step of him becoming an agent of change for the city he grew up in ... “As co-vp, I was able to put on a race and inequality town hall,” Dixon said.
