feature story project part 1
Leon Schmidt, a noted philanthropist
and successful businessman who owned the Yaring’s line of clothing
stores in Austin, died Friday, a family member said. He was 97.
Schmidt owned Yaring’s, a clothing retail
er that had 10 stores in Austin at
the height of its popularity in the 1980s. Its flagship store on
Congress Avenue was a local landmark for more than 60 years.
Schmidt was an active philanthropist
who supported numerous causes in Austin. He was born Feb. 12, 1916, in
Yorktown in DeWitt County in South Texas. His fa-
ther, Jacob Schmidt, had come to the
United States as a young Hungarian immigrant with $18 in his pocket. In
1907, he sold dry goods out of a covered wagon in Seguin. Two years
later, he opened a store called Jacob Schmidt in Yorktown. In 1930, he
moved his store and family to Austin.

top picture of 2013
this picture is the top picture because of the conflict in the picture, fear, worry and frantic movements make this picture great
My 2013 top list
My list of top stories of 2013
The best song was "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk. this song is both funk and techno, a great song with rythm only daft punk could create

the biggest devastation was the hurricane in the philipines. it left 2 million people homeless
The biggest celebrity death was nelson mandela. he was in prison for 29 years because of trying to speak out. then he became the leader of africa
i think most annoying celebrity goes to miley cyrus. she made a number of gross appearances like at the vmas

the game of 2013 was Legend of Zelda Link between worlds.
