<mask><mask> (May 8, 1929 – December 16, 1981) was an African-American politician and physician from the Republican Party, who served as the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania under governor <mask> for 10 months, between January and October 1979. Prior to serving in the state cabinet, <mask> was a member of the Philadelphia City Council from 1972 until 1979, representing both the 5th and At-Large Districts. Early life

<mask> was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She studied at West Virginia State College, where she majored in chemistry and biology with a minor in mathematics, and went on to earn her Doctor of Osteopathy from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1963. While her parents were active in local Democratic politics, <mask> eventually became a Republican volunteer, working for a variety of campaigns, including that of <mask> in 1952. She would jokingly describe herself as a "B.F.R.a black, female Republican, an entity as rare as a black elephant and just as smart." As a self-described "ghetto practitioner," <mask> worked in difficult and often dangerous circumstances in some of Philadelphia's poorest neighborhoods.At one point, she was lured to a false house call and found herself the target of a robbery. Four men had surrounded her, hoping to get drugs from her medical bag, but she escaped safely after wielding her gun and sending the would-be robbers running. Political career

City Council

<mask> decided that the best way for her to combat the crime she saw as a practicing physician was to become more involved in politics. In 1971, she ran for Philadelphia City Council. That year, buoyed by a series of strong debate performances, she unseated incumbent Democratic Councilman Thomas McIntosh in the Fifth District. With her election, she became the first African-American woman to serve on city council. During her tenure, <mask> sponsored legislation that resulted in the creation of the Philadelphia Youth Commission to help address issues with urban gangs.In 1975, <mask> decided to seek re-election to Council, but this time ran for one of Council's at-large seats. She won one of the two seats reserved for nonmembers of the majority Democratic Party, taking over the seat vacated by Tom Foglietta, who was the party's nominee for Mayor in that year's election. While on Council, <mask> was known as a tough, outspoken politician, often clashing with Mayor Frank Rizzo and Council President George Schwartz. As her local profile rose, so too did her national presence rise. At the 1976 Republican National Convention, <mask> gave the seconding speech in support of President Gerald Ford's nomination. State Secretary

In January 1979, incoming Governor <mask> named <mask> his choice for Secretary of the Commonwealth. <mask> had reportedly told city Republican leaders that she would turn-down Thornburgh's offer if they assured her that she would have an unobstructed path to the party's nomination for that year's Mayoral election; when she did not receive such assurances, she accepted Thornburgh's offer.In October of that year, Thornburgh's cabinet was rocked by several resignations. Two officials–the Secretary of Health and the Secretary of Labor–had resigned due to discomfort in government and an inability to work effectively with their colleagues. As a result of the increased scrutiny put on his cabinet, Thornburgh met with <mask> to discuss allegations of absenteeism and impropriety that had been made against her. <mask> was reportedly absent from her Harrisburg office for more than half of a 40-day period earlier that year, and had allegedly received honorariums for speeches that had been prepared by state employees. For her part, <mask> asserted that her absences were necessary to effectively carry-out her duties, and that she had only used a state worker to merely help write two speeches for which she had earned a total of $1,000. These speeches, she asserted, represented only a small percentage of the number of speeches she had given since taking office. Thornburgh, however asked <mask> resign, and when she refused to do so, he fired her.Two years earlier, Governor Milton Shapp had fired C<mask> Tucker, who was also serving as Secretary of the Commonwealth, for using public employees to assist in the preparation of speeches for which a fee was received. Later life
<mask>'s firing brought a significant backlash against Thornburgh from the African-American community and various civil rights groups. Some asserted that <mask> was held to a different standard because of her skin color, gender, or both; others charged that the Governor's actions were politically motivated. Her dismissal from Thornburgh's cabinet brought an end to her political career. She would serve for just over one year as the Philadelphia School District's clinician with management responsibilities. In December 1981, she died due to complications from double-bypass heart surgery. While <mask> never married and had no children, her legacy as trailblazer survived her.She often encouraged African-Americans and women to seek political office; indeed, her friend Augusta Clark would later become the second African-American woman to serve on Philadelphia City Council, eventually becoming the Democratic Majority Whip. The Philadelphia School District later renamed one of its elementary schools in her honor. References

<mask> (October 30, 1923 – April 28, 2011) was an American actor who appeared in supporting roles in major film productions, and also starred in several low-budget B-movies and horror films. Career
<mask>'s film career began in 1950, with a small part in the John Garfield film The Breaking Point. After several years of similar supporting performances in a number of films, including as a co-pilot in <mask>'s The High and the Mighty (1954), he won his first starring role in Cell 2455 Death Row (1955), a low-budget prison film for Columbia Pictures. He played a death row inmate, based loosely on the true story of Caryl Chessman, who staunchly proclaimed his innocence and obtained numerous reprieves over many years until finally being executed. <mask>'s surprisingly powerful performance received generally good notices from critics, but it did very little for his career; his next several roles were again providing support to lead actors, including Man Without a Star (1955), Love Me Tender (1956)  in which he became the first person to lip sync portions of a song onscreen (actually recorded on August 24, 1956, by the Ken Darby Trio) with Elvis Presley, and the 1958 film version of Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead. In 1958, <mask> co-starred with Paul Birch in Cannonball, a short-lived television series about truck drivers. After that, he worked for more years in small parts in increasingly lower grade movies.<mask> made two guest appearances on Perry Mason in 1959 and 1960. In his first appearance he played the title character and murder victim Allen Sheridan in "The Case of the Artful Dodger," then he played murderer and title character Jim Ferris in "The Case of the Ill-Fated Faker." In 1963, <mask> began a brief association with Roger Corman, starring in the director's The Young Racers that year. The auto-racing-themed movie, written for the screen by <mask>'s brother Robert Wright <mask>, was shot in Ireland. After production was completed, the film's sound man, Francis Ford Coppola, talked Corman into allowing Coppola to remain in Ireland with a small crew and direct a low-budget horror film, to be produced by Corman. Coppola promised it would be the cheapest film Corman was ever involved in. Shot for approximately $40,000, the resultant film, Dementia 13 (1963), was an atmospheric and violent horror thriller clearly made in imitation of Psycho.<mask> starred as a moody loner who at one point becomes the chief suspect in a series of gruesome axe killings; Patrick Magee and Luana Anders led the supporting cast. Many years later, <mask> would provide an audio commentary for the film's DVD release. <mask> also starred in another Corman-produced horror yarn. Filmed in 1963 in Yugoslavia under the title Operacija Ticijan, again with Magee in the cast, the film was never released in its original form. It was re-edited, re-dubbed, and briefly shown on television as Portrait in Terror. Years later, additional footage was shot in California, first by Jack Hill, then by Stephanie Rothman, transforming what was once a spy thriller into the story of a vampire stalking the streets of Venice, California. Retitled Blood Bath, although it also became known as Track of the Vampire, the film received a limited theatrical release in 1966.<mask> also filmed The Secret Invasion in Yugoslavia that was directed by Roger Corman and written by his brother Robert Wright <mask>. <mask> was the only one of the team of commandos not given screen credit above the title. One year previously in 1965 he landed a supporting role as a reporter in the classic suspense horror; Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte. In Blood Bath <mask>'s character was an artist who killed women and hid their bodies inside his sculptures; he is also a vampire who can freely walk during the daylight in search of victims. However, the fanged vampire was confusingly played by another actor who did not resemble <mask>. Like Dementia 13, the film has managed to develop a following despite its deficiencies. In the early 1990s, Video Watchdog magazine devoted lengthy articles in three separate issues painstakingly detailing the convoluted production history of this strange but fascinating movie.<mask> had guest starring roles in the Star Trek franchise, appearing first as the mischievous super-being Trelane, in an episode of the original series called "The Squire of Gothos". <mask> also appeared twice as the Klingon Captain Koloth. <mask> first played Koloth on the original Star Trek series in the episode "The Trouble with Tribbles". He reprised the role on the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode entitled "Blood Oath", some thirty years later. <mask> appeared at several Trek conventions in the 1980s and 1990s. His last appearance was at the convention organized by Creation Entertainment at the Las Vegas Hilton in August 2006. Personal life and death
<mask> served in the U.S. Navy during World War II on a minesweeper in the Pacific theater.<mask> was married three times. His first marriage was to Judith Exner in 1952. They divorced in 1958. His second wife was Barbara Bricker. They were married from 1960–1961. He married his third wife, Tereza, in 1962 (although some accounts have them marrying in 1963).

He also married in 2007. Band

Sheffield Wednesday
Hemmingham started playing music at football matches in 1993 when he took a bugle to a Sheffield Wednesday match away at Everton's Goodison Park and played the fanfare to Aida. The action was noticed by local newspapers and after a phone call to Hemmingham from Sheffield Wednesday manager, Trevor Francis, Sheffield Wednesday then hired Hemmingham and group of Sheffield Wednesday supporters to form an official club band which became known as the "Kop Band". Although the band became popular, Hemmingham and the Kop Band have been banned from Steel City derby rivals Sheffield United's stadium, Bramall Lane a number of times. In 2002, they were banned from Bramall Lane because Sheffield United were concerned that playing music might lead to "unsafe crowd movement" and "unacceptable structural movement" by Sheffield United's safety officer. England
In 1996, Hemmingham, along with the Kop Band, were invited by the head of The Football Association, David Davies to form a supporters band for the England national team in time for UEFA Euro 96.<mask> accepted and the Kop Band became known as the England Supporters Band. Since then, <mask> claims he has not missed an England game. As well as being viewed as the leader of the band, <mask> is also the managing director of them. After being offered a recording deal by Virgin Group chairman, Richard Branson, <mask> and the band released The Great Escape theme tune as singles for the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000. The England Supporters band then started received backing from commercial sponsors. In 2006, the band were sponsored by Leicester-based company Pukka Pies, becoming known as the Pukka Pies England Band. In 2010 publishers, Peakpublish announced they had signed a deal with <mask> for him to write two books about the formation of the England Supporters Band and his experiences with them.The books were called The Story of the England Supporters' Band and Playing for England. Other sports
<mask> has also led the England Band to other sporting events. In 2008, <mask> took the band to Beijing, China during the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics to support Team GB however they were not permitted to enter the Beijing National Stadium with their instruments and instead played on the streets of Beijing. In 2012, during the London 2012 Summer Olympics it was announced that the England Band would be supporting both the Great Britain men's national field hockey team and the Great Britain women's national field hockey team during their matches at the Olympics. <mask> has also taken the band to Las Vegas, United States as well as the City of Manchester Stadium to support Manchester boxer, Ricky Hatton. They have also attended Rugby sevens matches to support the England national team. Football administration
<mask> first started in football administration as the chief executive of an independent supporters group called The Owls Trust, which he helped establish, in 2001.The Owls Trust was disliked by many Sheffield Wednesday fans and by Sheffield Wednesday chairman Dave Allen as it was perceived that it was a vehicle leading towards a takeover by Ken Bates, then chairman of Sheffield Wednesday's rivals Leeds United, as The Owls Trust controlled a large amount of shares and Hemmingham had publicly stated support for Bates. After an attempted boardroom coup by The Owls Trust to remove Allen from the chairmanship in an extraordinary general meeting in October 2004, in 2005, The Owls Trust were evicted from their offices at Hillsborough Stadium, Hemmingham was banned from executive areas of the stadium and The Kop Band was asked to reduce its numbers by Allen. Hemmingham's ban was then later extended to a full stadium ban from Hillsborough. As a result of this, after securing an area for matchday parking, Hemmingham resigned to take a full-time position at Bates' Leeds United as head of customer services and membership. This led to Hemmingham receiving death threats from Sheffield Wednesday fans. In January 2008, <mask> left Leeds United and in August, he was appointed as the chief executive of non-league side, Mansfield Town where he oversaw the expansion of the capacity of their Field Mill stadium. However, in January 2009, he left his position after three months.Also in January, his relations with Sheffield Wednesday improved after Allen was no longer chairman and the new directors at the club, Lee Strafford and Nick Parker elected to remove <mask>'s ban from Hillsborough. In 2011, <mask> rejoined Sheffield Wednesday as the Commercial Manager of Sheffield Wednesday Ladies. Personal life
<mask> has been married since 2007. References

<mask> (born 22 June 1957) is an Americo-Liberian businessman and politician, who was formerly the Liberian Commissioner of Maritime Affairs. In 2014 The Economist reported that <mask> was Liberia's wealthiest man. Early life and career
<mask> was born on 22 June 1959 at his family home in Careysburg, Montserrado County, Liberia. His father was married to three women, his mother, <mask>, <mask> and <mask>. Two of his father's wives were Kpelle and one was Americo-Liberian. His father, <mask>, was an Americo-Liberian from Careysburg. <mask>’s father met two of his wives in Caresyburg and one in Bong County.Two of <mask>'s mothers were dominantly native women who never spoke English, while the other was a school teacher. His father was subsistence farmer. This family lived in Careysburg throughout their lives. <mask> is the eighth of eleven children. He attended kindergarten and first grade at Careysburg Public School. With the aid of a scholarship from  the U.S. government through the Voice of America relay station, <mask> attended the American Cooperative School (A.C.S), a private American school in Monrovia, from first grade until his graduation from high school in 1976. While attending A.C.S, he participated in almost every  varsity sport, including basketball.His love for basketball led him and some friends to form The Uhuru Kings and Queens, a social and sports club that eventually became a first division member of Liberia Basketball Federation. Uhuru Kings still is a member of the Liberian Basketball Federation and has participated in numerous national championships over the years. After high school, <mask> attended Cuttington University, in Bong County. He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in General Science with emphasis in chemistry in 1980. At Cuttington University, <mask> served as the President of The Mason Social and Athletic Club, and in his last year, President of the Senior class. Later in 2010, <mask> was awarded the Doctor of Humane Letters (L.H.D.) Honoris Causa from Cuttington University.After university, <mask> moved to Monrovia and began to work for the government, at the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC). He worked as a Training Officer until he was awarded a scholarship to pursue a M.A. in Public Finance and Human Resource Development and a M.Sc in Planning from the University of Southern California. He graduated from USC in 1986. Upon his return to Liberia in 1986, <mask> was appointed Deputy Director General for Planning and Training of the Liberia Electricity Corporation Training Center under the Presidency of the late President Samuel K. Doe. He worked at the corporation until the war broke out. In 1990, when the Liberian Civil War broke out, <mask> left Liberia and traveled to Sierra Leone and lived there for eight months and later moved  to Ivory Coast.While there, he started to work at African Development Bank as a consultant. In 1994, <mask> returned to Bong County, Liberia and started to work as the Managing Director at Liberia Rubber Development Corporation. Political career

Under the Interim Government of Liberia, chaired by Wilton Sankawulo, in 1995, <mask> was appointed President of Agricultural Cooperative Development Bank of Liberia. In 1996, the Council of State appointed <mask> as Commissioner of Maritime Affairs. When Charles Taylor came to power after winning elections in 1997, <mask> was reappointed to his position as Commissioner of Maritime. He served as Commissioner until 2003, when Taylor resigned from office. In 2000, <mask> was sanctioned by the United Nations for his alleged role in arms procurement (starting in summer of 2002) and also for his alleged “ongoing ties with Charles Taylor”.<mask> breached an earlier UN travel ban in August 2001. His name was added to the US Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals list, prohibiting him from conducting business with US companies, citizens and residents, and blocking all US based assets. A 2005 report from the Coalition for International Justice reported that <mask> helped Taylor "siphon off" funds from a shipping firm to pay for arms and was the primary contact between Taylor and Viktor Bout. The United Nations Panel of Experts concluded in their November 2013 report that "evidence indicates, however, that in approving the funds <mask> was acting on the orders of Taylor." The Liberian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) recommended in its final report that <mask> be prosecuted for the commission of economic crimes during the civil war and barred from holding public office for 30 years. During the TRC hearings, <mask> was identified by witness James Paul as operating the Liberian Rubber Company and exporting "hundred of thousands of tons of rubber", the proceeds of which were never accounted for. <mask> has denied any involvement in the violence of the Liberian and Sierra Leone civil conflicts,  maintaining that as a civilian being appointed to head the Maritime Commission, he made no war-related decisions.An investigation by the United Nations Panel of Experts on Liberia's political situation in 2013 concluded that it “did not have information suggesting that <mask> was involved in activities that would destabilize Liberia and the subregion”. The Panel also stated that “<mask>’s business activities, and the profits gained from them, would appear to suggest that civil conflict in Liberia would have a significant negative financial impact on him”. In December 2013, <mask> was de-listed from the United Nations Sanction Lists. In November 2015, the US Treasury Department lifted sanctions against a number of Liberians, including <mask>. But a Liberian newspaper reported that <mask> was subsequently denied a US entry visa in 2016, a claim which was denied by the All Liberian Party.

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf endorsed the appointment by subsequently appointing him Mayor.He served as Mayor until 2012.

<mask> (10 May 1944 – 15 September 2013) was an English guitarist and singer-songwriter. He is best known for his association with George Harrison, who produced <mask>'s recordings for the Beatles' Apple record label in the late 1960s. <mask> was born in 1944 in Wallasey, Cheshire. He was a member of Dee and the Dynamites, The Undertakers, The Lomax Alliance, Heavy Jelly and Badger. He worked with The Tea Bags, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Leon Russell and Nicky Hopkins. Career

1962–1970
In January 1962, <mask> left Dee and the Dynamites to join the Merseybeat band The Undertakers. They followed The Beatles' route through local venues before setting out for Hamburg, Germany, and securing a recording contract.They signed with Pye Records and released four singles, but they managed only one week on the UK Singles Chart with "Just a Little Bit" (#49 in 1964). In 1965 they decided to try their luck in the United States. <mask> spent two years in the US with The Undertakers and a couple of other groups. In 1967, Brian Epstein took his latest line-up, The Lomax Alliance, back to the UK to showcase them at London's Saville Theatre. He arranged for a single and an album to be recorded, and they signed to CBS before Epstein's death. During that period, CBS released two Lomax Alliance singles and one <mask> solo single. More than enough tracks for an album were recorded but it was never released.After Epstein's death, The Beatles' new record label, Apple Records, took over responsibility for <mask>'s recording career, and George Harrison became involved in production. Despite having three-quarters of The Beatles on the record, plus Eric Clapton and Nicky Hopkins, <mask>'s 1968 debut single on Apple, the Harrison-penned "Sour Milk Sea", backed with "The Eagle Laughs at You" written by <mask>, made little commercial impression. <mask> and Harrison recorded the remainder of the Is This What You Want? album in Los Angeles, with Hal Blaine and other members of the Wrecking Crew; but as with the concurrent single, the Lomax-produced "New Day", success remained elusive when the album was released in early 1969. A final Apple single followed, a cover version of "How the Web Was Woven" featuring Leon Russell. By 1970, The Beatles' breakup left the remaining Apple Records artists in limbo. 1970–1977

After leaving Apple, <mask> joined a band called Heavy Jelly.The band began as a hoax review in Time Out magazine. Guitarist John Morshead from The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation and three ringers had posed for the "group's" photo in the magazine, so to cash in on the buzz Morshead and drummer Carlo Little released a single on promoter John Curd's Head Records ("Chewn In"/"Time Out", Head HDS4001, 1969). They were beaten to the punch however by the group Skip Bifferty who released their own single as Heavy Jelly, "I Keep Singing That Same Old Song" b/w "Blue", on Island Records. The A-side became fairly well known at the time from its inclusion on the Island sampler album, Nice Enough To Eat. Curd owned the rights to the name however, and stopped Island from releasing any other Heavy Jelly productions. Guitarist Morshead, along with his former Aynsley Dunbar mate bassist Alex Dmochowski, formed another version of Heavy Jelly with <mask>. Mike Kellie from Spooky Tooth drummed on some sessions but was later replaced by Barry Jenkins, formerly of The Animals.Also helping out were the tragic Badfinger duo of Pete Ham and Tom Evans on backing vocals and "horn section to the stars" Bobby Keys and Jim Price. The self-titled Heavy Jelly album was recorded, entirely consisting of Lomax songs, but was issued only for promotional purposes and never released commercially due to contractual issues with Apple. After the album was finished, the band began touring but was bedeviled by line-up changes. Drummer Dave Rowland and bassist Steve Thompson were with the group at one point. After a few months the band disintegrated. (In December 2013, it was announced that after <mask>'s untimely death his family resolved all issues with Apple amicably and the album was re-leased on Angel Air Records on 10 March 2014.) Confusing matters further, another Heavy Jelly, produced by Simon Napier-Bell, released their only single in the U.S. and France on Avco Embassy, "Humpty Dumpty" b/w "Throw Down A Line", in a nice picture sleeve.This may have been a studio group since both sides were written by producer Napier-Bell and vocalist and sometime partner Ray Singer. In 1971, <mask> returned to the US to live and work in Woodstock, New York. He signed to Warner Bros. Records and reunited with members of the Lomax Alliance and The Undertakers. They returned to the recording studio but their albums, Home is in My Head and Three, failed to sell. Disappointed with his lack of success, <mask> returned to the UK at the end of 1973. He joined Badger, a progressive rock band originally formed by ex-Yes keyboard player Tony Kaye, and turned them into a R&B and soul band he had used on his solo albums. The band became a vehicle for <mask>'s songs and singing but was short-lived, releasing only one album, the Allen Toussaint-produced White Lady, on Epic Records.<mask> crossed the Atlantic again to resume his solo career and Capitol Records signed him in 1975. He released two Capitol albums, Livin' for Lovin''' and Did You Ever Have That Feeling?, before leaving the label in 1977. The latter set was released only in the UK. 1978–2000
The 1980s were a quiet time in <mask>'s career. In the mid-1980s he played guitar and sang background vocals on demos for various artists, produced by his friend Patrick Landreville. He briefly played with The Tea Bags, a Los Angeles-based group which included Ian Wallace, Kim Gardner, Mick Taylor, Brian Auger, Terry Reid, Peter Banks, Graham Bell and David Mansfield amongst others. In the 1990s, he spent time playing with other British artists on America's West Coast, and he toured as the bassist for The Drifters, The Diamonds, and The Coasters.In California, particularly Ventura County, <mask> played live with a succession of line-ups including Tom Petty, drummer Randall Marsh, Jim Calire, Patrick Landreville and Mitch Kashmar. In 1990, <mask> recorded the Tim Buckley song, "Devil Eyes" for the True Voices album. Others appearing on the album included Gene Clark, John Stewart, P. F. Sloan and Lucinda Williams. 2001–2013 and after
In 2001, <mask> completed the recording of his first solo album since 1977, The Ballad of Liverpool Slim. 2002 saw him continuing to play on the West Coast of America. In 2003, he made a return to The Cavern in Liverpool, where his career began more than 40 years earlier. In 2004, <mask> was a guest on the 'BeatlesandBeyond' Radio Show in Walsall, hosted by Pete Dicks.Dicks later wrote the sleeve notes for, and organised, the UK release of <mask>'s The Ballad of Liverpool Slim...and Others album. <mask> would return to Liverpool on several occasions, playing in the Liverpool pub in James Street. Percy Sledge included <mask>'s song, "Fall Inside Your Eyes", on his 2004 album Shining Through The Rain. During his last few years, <mask> was a regular visitor to Parrjazz at Studio 2, Liverpool, where his music was always warmly appreciated by an enthusiastic audience. On 13 April 2012, <mask> played on the 50th Anniversary of the Hamburg-based Star-Club in the Kaiserkeller, with the Star Club All-Star-Band plus Brian Griffiths (Big Three), Bobby Thompson (Dominoes), and Joe Fagin (Strangers), and also with The Undertakers. During his last years, <mask> resided in Ojai, California, United States, with his wife, Annie (previously Norma Richardson), mother of fashion photographer Terry Richardson. On 15 September 2013, <mask> died after a short illness, on the Wirral while staying in England for the wedding of his daughter.In 2019, one of his songs, New Day from the album Is This What You Want?, was used for a cricket commercial for UK sports channel Sky Sports. It featured a reworked version by Irish female singer Lyra. Her version was also used in a commercial for Dutch bike company VanMoof in the summer of 2020, after which it was released as a single.New Day by Lyra on YouTube

<mask><mask> is an American psychologist and feminist. She is a professor of developmental psychology and health psychology at the University of Utah. Her research focuses on sexual orientation development, sexual identity, and bonding. She is best known for her 2008 book, Sexual Fluidity: Understanding Women's Love and Desire. In this book, she discusses the fluidity of female sexuality, based on her study of 100 non-heterosexual women over a period of 10 years. She concluded that the term bisexual did not truly express the versatile nature of many of her subjects. Therefore, she calls "for an expanded understanding of same-sex sexuality".Early life
<mask> became interested in feminism after Betty Friedan gave a talk at her high school. She studied feminist theory at the University of Chicago and joined the board of the Chicago National Organization for Women. During this time, she came out as a lesbian and decided to pursue research into same-sex sexuality instead of activism. In 1993, she received her B.A. in Psychology from the University of Chicago. She then started graduate work with Ritch Savin-Williams at Cornell University, where she earned her M.A. in 1996, and her Ph.D in 1999, both in Human Development.Work
At the University of Utah, <mask> was an assistant professor from 1999 to 2005, and an associate professor from 2005 to 2012. She became a professor of psychology and gender studies in 2012. She serves on the editorial boards of Developmental Psychology, Archives of Sexual Behavior, and various other journals. Her research focuses on same-sex sexuality, adolescent females, and human bonding. In her studies of sexual fluidity, she has found that some women report variability in their sexual orientation identity. <mask> is clear that sexual orientation is not chosen, but that identity can shift non-voluntarily for some women. The sexually fluid women she studied did not "experience those changes as willful", and some even resist them.<mask> says that conversion therapy cannot remove same-sex attraction. Describing herself as a feminist scientist, <mask> says "there are a lot of scientists who just cling to the scientific method and believe they are totally objective and I think they are full of bunk. But, I have met a lot of feminists who say there is not a way to collect data without being oppressive, that data has no meaning, the world is socially constructed and I think that is bunk too." <mask> has also researched attachment theory as the basis for love and sexual orientation, and the association between relationships and psychobiological health. <mask> was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award by the APA Committee on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Concerns in 2011; the Distinguished Book Award by the International Association of Relationship Research (IARR) in 2010; and the Distinguished Book Award for her book Sexual Fluidity by the American Psychological Association, Division 44 in 2009. Sexual Fluidity was also a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Bisexual Literature. Publications

William E<mask>. (born December 10, 1971) is an American Republican Party politician and law professor. He represented the 14th legislative district in the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly. In 2010, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie named <mask> to serve as the Deputy Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He resigned from his position at the Port Authority on December 12, 2013, during the inquiry into the Fort Lee lane closure controversy. <mask> was convicted on seven counts of conspiracy and wire fraud in relation to his involvement in the closure and sentenced to two years of imprisonment and 500 hours of community service, later reduced to 18 months. On May 7, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously reversed the conviction in Kelly v. United States. Early life
<mask> was born in Jacksonville, Florida.He attended Steinert High School in Hamilton Township. He received a B.A. from George Washington University in history and was awarded a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law. Political career

Early career
<mask> became interested in politics as a teenager, working on the 1988 campaign of his hometown US representative, Christopher H. Smith (R), who was seeking re-election to his fourth term. He was also a driver for Assembly Speaker Chuck Haytaian in his campaign for US Senator against Frank Lautenberg in 1994 and worked on the advance staff for the 1996 presidential campaign of Steve Forbes. In 1999, <mask> made his first campaign for public office, losing a race for Hamilton Township council.In 2000, <mask> was one of a small group of New Jersey Republicans who supported John McCain for President over George W. Bush. In 2001, <mask> was general counsel for congressman Bob Franks's gubernatorial campaign. In 2002, he led the Republican efforts to keep incumbent U.S. Senator Robert Torricelli's name on the ballot after Torricelli withdrew amid ethical problems. The efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. 2003 Assembly campaign
In 2003, <mask> mounted an aggressive campaign for the General Assembly, knocking on over 10,000 doors to defeat the Democratic incumbent Gary Guear. <mask>'s campaign got a boost when Guear accused <mask> of falsely claiming to be a native Hamiltonian.<mask> was born in Jacksonville, Florida before his adoption by the <mask> family in Hamilton, where he had lived ever since. The remark backfired as an attack on <mask>'s adoption, and Guear's campaign never recovered. He was re-elected to the Assembly in 2005. During the 2005 campaign, Democratic opponent Daniel R. Benson held an October press conference at the State House, intending to attack <mask> on property taxes. Instead, <mask> personally attended the press conference and debated the issue with Benson, attacking Benson's record on taxes as a Hamilton Township councilman. Benson eventually left his own press conference, leaving <mask> to take media questions from Benson's podium. On November 6, 2007, he won election to become State Senator of the 14th Legislative District.He captured 62.3% of the vote, defeating Democratic Party opponent Seema Singh. Baroni filled the State Senate seat vacated by Republican Senator Peter Inverso. There had been speculation that <mask> would seek the Republican nomination for United States Senate in 2008 against Frank Lautenberg, but his run for the New Jersey Senate effectively ended that speculation. Legislative tenure
In 2004 and 2005, he was the Assembly's Assistant Parliamentarian. <mask> served in the Senate on the Joint Committee on the Public Schools, the Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee, the Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee and the Judiciary Committee. In 2006, <mask> helped Tom Kean Jr. prepare for his debates against Senator Bob Menendez by playing the part of Menendez. He did the same in 2009 for Chris Christie's debate preparations, standing in for Jon Corzine.In 2008, <mask> served as State Chairman of John McCain's presidential campaign in New Jersey. Political positions
<mask> has been described as "pro-life and pro-labor." In 2010, he was the only Republican Senator who voted to allow same-sex marriage in New Jersey. He supports same sex marriage in Ireland, of which he is also a citizen. Election history

Legal career
<mask> was an associate at DeCotiis, Fitzpatrick & Cole, and then at Blank Rome. He was of counsel at Fornaro Francioso, a Hamilton firm. He served as chief counsel to Congressman Bob Franks in his 2000 U.S. Senate race.In 2002, when U.S. Senator Robert Torricelli withdrew his candidacy for re-election five weeks before Election Day after the Senate admonished him on ethics charges, Baroni argued for the Republicans in the New Jersey Supreme Court against a last-minute switch of candidates to Frank Lautenberg. In 2002, <mask> became an adjunct professor at the Seton Hall University School of Law, where he taught classes on Professional Responsibility, voting rights, legislation, and campaign finance reform. As of November 2008, he was no longer an adjunct professor at the Seton Hall University School of Law. Port Authority

Fort Lee lane closure scandal
On February 19, 2010, the Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, announced that he was appointing <mask> to the position of Deputy Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He resigned his Senate seat to assume the new post on March 1, 2010. Tom Goodwin was selected to fill the vacant Senate seat.Resignation
On December 12, 2013, Christie announced that <mask> had resigned as Deputy Executive Director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. That occurred after the scandal over lane closures at the George Washington Bridge, perhaps to punish Democratic Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for not supporting Christie. Later email disclosures indicated that <mask> had attempted to squelch press that the lane closures were improper. On January 9, 2014, <mask> was named as a defendant in a federal class action lawsuits in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey which cited a civil conspiracy and "willful, wanton, arbitrary, and egregious official misconduct." On May 1, 2015, he was indicted on nine federal counts of conspiracy, fraud, and related charges to which he pleaded not guilty. He contested the District Attorney's decision not to release certain documents in the discovery process to mount his defense. A continuance for the trial was granted in September 2015.Conviction
On November 4, 2016 the jury in the Bridgegate]] trial returned guilty verdicts on all counts against <mask> and co-defendant Bridget Anne Kelly. On March 29, 2017, he was sentenced to two years in prison and 500 hours of community service. An appeals court decision led to the dismissal of some of the charges against him. He appealed to have the remaining charges against him dismissed. On November 27, 2018, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the majority of the convictions but overturned the determination that Kelly and Baroni had violated the civil rights of travelers and found there is no established civil right to interstate travel giving rise to a criminal conviction. The court directed for Kelly and Baroni to be resentenced on the remaining seven counts of the indictment. Baroni appealed to the US Supreme Court.On June 28, 2019, they agreed to hear the appeal in the case against <mask> and Kelly. On May 7, 2020, the Supreme Court reversed the conviction and unanimously held in Kelly v. United States that the money or property element of the federal program fraud and wire fraud laws had not been met stating:

“For no reason other than political payback, <mask> and Kelly used deception to reduce Fort Lee’s access lanes to the George Washington Bridge—and thereby jeopardized the safety of the town’s residents. But not every corrupt act by state or local officials is a federal crime. Because the scheme here did not aim to obtain money or property, <mask> and Kelly could not have violated the federal-program fraud or wire fraud laws. We therefore reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. It is so ordered.”

Personal life

Organizations
<mask> served on the Foundation Board of both The College of New Jersey and Mercer County Community College. <mask> was also chairman of the board of trustees of the Greater Trenton Symphony Orchestra and on the Board of Trustees of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and on the board of trustees for Visitation Home, which builds homes for New Jersey residents with disabilities.<mask> is also a special advisor to the New Jersey Boys' State Foundation, and is a former delegate at Jersey Boys' State. He served on the Mercer County Community College Board of Trustees from 1998 to 2003. He was a member of the Hamilton Township Planning Board from 1998 to 2000. Fat Kid Got Fit
Along with a childhood friend, Baroni co-authored Fat Kid Got Fit, and So Can You, a 2012 book chronicling <mask>'s early struggles with obesity and his successful efforts to overcome the problem. Baroni wrote the book because he wants others to know that his successful weight loss came from “being healthy and working out” and that other people could share similar success. See also

<mask>. (31 August 1912 – 6 January 2001) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the South Melbourne Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and the Coburg Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA). Considered "arguably the best full-forward in the history of Australian rules", <mask> was one of the inaugural Legends inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 1996. Known for spectacular diving and high-flying marks, <mask> topped South Melbourne's goalkicking for the first time in 1932 with 71 goals and for the next three seasons passed 100 goals. His total of 150 goals in 1934 was a VFL/AFL record which stood alone until Peter Hudson equalled it in 1971. <mask> also kicked ten or more goals in a game eight times, including 15 goals in a single game. His son, <mask>., also played for South Melbourne. Early life
The son of <mask> and <mask> (née Fosbrook), <mask> was born in the inner-Melbourne suburb of Brunswick West on 31 August 1912.He grew up in the Melbourne suburb of Mitcham, and was known as "<mask>" to avoid confusion with his father. Playing as a junior for local club Mitcham, <mask> attracted the attention of rival VFL clubs South Melbourne and . Whilst Hawthorn lost interest after a poor performance by <mask> in a match, South Melbourne signed him following a recommendation from the Mitcham coach. South Melbourne

1929
Recruited from Mitcham, <mask> played his first game for the South Melbourne Second XVIII, against Hawthorn, on 15 June 1929. He was one of the best on the ground in a team that won 15.16 (106) to 4.9 (33), scoring four goals. He played in the forward pocket for the Second XVIII in the 1929 First Semi-Final against Essendon, and was one of the best players for South Melbourne. He was replaced in the team for the preliminary final match against Geelong by Jack Richardson, most likely because Richardson had played 10 senior matches that year, rather than due to any disappointment in <mask>'s performance (it was the prevailing wisdom that it was always better to play experienced senior players in Second XVIII finals matches); Geelong won the match.1930
<mask>'s senior VFL career began in the first round of the 1930 season, when (aged 17 years, 245 days) he played at centre half-forward for South Melbourne, against Melbourne at South Melbourne's home ground, Lake Oval. Although South Melbourne lost the match by 25 points, <mask> kicked four goals, and was considered to be South Melbourne's best player on the day. He played the entire season of 18 Home and Away matches, kicking 43 goals for the season —  his best score was five goals in Round 10 against Fitzroy – and was second on South Melbourne's goalkicking list to the full-forward, Austin Robertson. He was considered to have "immense promise". 1931
Still playing at centre half-forward, he played 15 games and kicked 23 goals, becoming the equal third highest goalkicker for South. Leading VFL footballer turned journalist Wallace Sharland complimented <mask> on his pace, stating that he had plenty of "toe". South Melbourne finished seventh with nine wins from eighteen matches.1932
South Melbourne selected Roy Selleck, a recruit from Springvale, at full-forward, and selected <mask> at centre half-forward for the opening match of the 1932 season. Selleck was not a success (in fact he only played three senior VFL games), and he was moved to the forward flank for the second match, and <mask> was moved to full-forward for the first time. In his first game as full-forward he kicked 7 goals 1 behind. <mask> topped South Melbourne's goalkicking for the first time in 1932 with 71 goals, fifty of them coming by Round Nine. His tally broke the previous record for goals scored in a season by a South Melbourne player, held by Ted Johnson, who kicked 60 goals in the 1924, 1925 and 1928 seasons. On 2 July 1932, in the round nine match against Fitzroy, playing at full-forward, <mask> kicked 7 goals (The Argus noted that "<mask> was keen and accurate [up] forward", whilst The Age remarked on <mask>'s "extraordinary marking and kicking") in a more accurate South Melbourne's 12.10 (82) win over Fitzroy 10.15 (75). After the match, <mask> was reported by goal umpire Greenwood and boundary umpire Treloar for striking Fitzroy's back-pocket Frank Curcio in the back, near the right kidney, in the third quarter.At the VFL tribunal hearing on Thursday, 7 July 1932, the charge against <mask> was not sustained ("Curcio said that he had no recollection of having been struck"). This was the only occasion that <mask> was reported in his entire VFL career. 1933
South Melbourne underwent a massive recruiting drive prior to the 1933 VFL season, recruiting Laurie Nash and Frank Davies from Tasmania, Wilbur Harris and Ossie Bertram from South Australia and Western Australians Joe O'Meara and John Bowe. After a slow start, the team melded well together to win the 1933 premiership. <mask>, who kicked 109 goals for the season from eighteen matches, was "idolised by all South fans ... (who) flocked to the Lake Oval and other grounds to see him action." <mask> kicked three goals in the grand final to overtake Gordon Coventry as the VFL's leading goalkicker for the season. 1934
<mask> had a disrupted pre-season, barely training and playing only one practice match, yet he kicked eight goals in Round One against Collingwood.At the age of just 20, <mask> had already become a fan favourite at South Melbourne. Local newspaper the South Melbourne Record wrote of his performances "Nothing gave South fans greater delight than to see <mask> soaring above the packs. The fruits of victory would not taste so sweet if <mask> failed to reap a bag of half a dozen majors." On 19 May, in the Round 3 match against  at Lake Oval, <mask> set a new club record for the most goals kicked in a game by an individual player, registering 15 goals and 3 behinds in a 42-point win. Eight of those goals came in a ten-minute spell. a record only broken since by Tony Lockett in 1995. He also kicked 12 goals against Footscray (including seven in a quarter) and 11 against Carlton and Essendon.<mask> reached 100 goals for the season in the third quarter of the Round 13 match against Carlton, the fewest games ever required to reach 100 goals in a season. In a match against Carlton, <mask> kicked eight goals in the third quarter, which is one of the highest number of goals kicked in a quarter, by an individual in the VFL. South Melbourne dominated the competition through the season and were considered the clear favourite to win the 1934 premiership. However, in the Grand Final, South were outplayed by Richmond, losing by 39 points, with <mask> kicking two goals to take his season tally to 150 goals. Post-match rumours of South Melbourne players accepting bribes to play poorly were so strong that <mask> and teammate Peter Reville confronted several players they suspected of playing poorly. His total of 150 goals in 1934 is a VFL/AFL record haul; it is now shared with Peter Hudson, who equalled it in 1971. In addition to his 150 goals, <mask> kicked 94 behinds, which is still the record for the most behinds kicked in a season (<mask> is also second on the second on that list, having kicked 93 points in 1933).<mask> had his best Brownlow Medal result in 1934, polling 14 votes to finish eighth, six votes behind the winner, Essendon's Dick Reynolds. For all of this, <mask> did not win South Melbourne's Best and Fairest Award (won by Terry Brain). When <mask> asked a committee member why, he was given the response "You're very spectacular but not very effective." He did, however, receive the 2021 equivalent of A$1,133 from South Melbourne in recognition of his feat. 1935

<mask> was again a star performer in 1935, kicking 103 goals for the year and, for the third season in a row, being the VFL Leading Goalkicker (an outstanding feat, given that his teammates Roy Moore and Laurie Nash scored 52 and 51 goals respectively for the 1935 season as well). Following a convincing win in the second-semi final against Collingwood, when <mask> kicked six goals, South Melbourne were again considered favourite to win the premiership. However, <mask> missed the 1935 VFL Grand Final through bizarre circumstances.On the Thursday night prior to the Grand Final he was clipped by a truck carrying five tonnes of bricks moments after he stepped off a tram on High Street, Prahran. <mask> injured an ankle and lacerated both legs due to the accident and was unable to play. In response to the accident, the South Melbourne Record wrote The initial attack on the inhabitants of Adowa by Benito Mussolini's invading army upon Emperor Haile Selassie, is no greater shock than that received by SMFC officials when they learned on Thursday afternoon, through the press, that <mask> had been involved in a collision with a motor truck. The truck driver, a South Melbourne supporter, offered <mask> a packet of cigarettes as a way of apology. In <mask>'s absence Collingwood won the Grand Final by 20 points. 1936

<mask>'s son <mask> Jr. was born on 24 March 1936, and <mask> suddenly found himself unemployed when the newspaper he worked for, The Star, unexpectedly folded. Annoyed at what he considered unfair treatment by club management towards him compared to interstate recruits, <mask> first sought to leave South Melbourne for another club in June 1936, stating that he was unemployed and believed another club could find him employment.<mask> relented when local politician Robert Williams MLC found him a job in a brewery. Perhaps driven by his financial circumstances, <mask> was the only South Melbourne player to play in every senior game in 1936. The South Melbourne players, including <mask>, had suffered a large number of injuries over the season, and the (astounding in 1936) number of 39 different men played at least one senior game that season: and, "of [that 39] <mask> is the only one who has played in every engagement, and on occasions he has had to nurse injuries certain to have kept most other players out of the game". In the first round match against Melbourne, <mask> was well held by his opponent, Harry Long, who was the best Melbourne player on the day. <mask> kicked 5 goals and 5 behinds for the match; his first goal for the day came from an "amazing mark" which he took "almost on the goal line" ("[<mask>] went from behind the pack with a tremendous leap and took the ball in his finger-tips to score an easy goal"). That first goal of the 1936 season brought his VFL career total to 500 goals (in 106 matches). 1937
Injuries (including a split nerve that had been undiagnosed) restricted <mask> to just six games in 1937 for twelve goals (leading him to consider retirement on a number of occasions).<mask> walked out on South Melbourne after round eight, 1937, believing club officials considered him part of the furniture and did not see it necessary to offer him the same benefits (such as travel, accommodation and employment) as his interstate teammates like Laurie Nash. Carlton attempted to recruit <mask>, offering to pay him to stand out of football while waiting for a transfer from South Melbourne. South Melbourne, however, refused to transfer him. 1938
<mask> abandoned plans to join Carlton but continual injury problems delayed the start of his year. In April, <mask> announced he was considering a transfer to Victorian Football Association (VFA) club Preston, who were offering him £6. He advised South Melbourne that, if they would continue to pay him the usual rate of £3 a week and take the risk of his breaking down, he would not consider any other offer. If, on the other hand, South Melbourne was reluctant, he announced that he would transfer to Preston and take the risk of his leg keeping him out of the game.The full story emerged at the end of

 June 1938 (30 June was the closing date for clearances), when Mr. R.T. Mullaly, the Secretary of the South Melbourne Football Club, was interviewed by Percy Taylor, the Sporting Editor of The Argus. Mullaly explained that <mask> had sustained an ankle injury three years earlier during the exhibition match South Melbourne had played against Collingwood, in Sydney, on 3 August 1935, and that his injury in that match was so severe that he was unable to return to the field after the half-time break. Although he received immediate treatment, he was unable to play in South Melbourne's next match, against Carlton on 10 August 1935; but he was fit enough to play against North Melbourne on 17 August 1935, two weeks later (he kicked 5 goals in the match). He continued to play for the rest of the season. Then, just two days before the 1935 Grand Final, <mask> was hit by a truck, badly injuring the same ankle. <mask> received immediate medical attention, including intensive massage treatment, and was later taken, by South Melbourne, to a leading surgeon. As a consequence of the treatment he received, <mask> was able to play in all of the 21 games that South Melbourne played in 1936, scoring 64 goals for the season.Then, in 1937, after the match against North Melbourne on 14 June 1937, <mask> complained of pain in his badly jarred ankle; his ankle was X-rayed, and South Melbourne took him to "the best bone specialist in Melbourne", who diagnosed "arthritis". They sought a second opinion; and <mask> also continued to receive extensive massage treatment as well. <mask> did not play again in 1937. According to Mullaly, <mask> had begun training some two months before the 1938 season had started, and had played well in some of the club's practice games; only to have complained, once again, of ankle problems. He was appointed vice-captain to Herbie Matthews two weeks before the season began. Although not playing, he was retained on South Melbourne's training list and, as a consequence, was receiving £1 a week – and only seemed to become anxious about the condition of his ankle as the closing date for clearances had approached, and had asked for the club to arrange another X-ray. Mullaly thought that it was "absurd" for <mask> to contemplate gaining a clearance to another club if, in fact, he was not fit to play for South Melbourne.The two medical men consulted by South Melbourne reported, on Friday 24 June, that <mask> had arthritis and that he must retire. Suddenly and unexpectedly, on 28 June 1938 (two days before the VFL's clearance applications closed), <mask> appeared at South Melbourne's Tuesday night training session and, despite the medical advice that had been given to him, he declared that, despite his chronic arthritis, he wanted to play again with South Melbourne, and that he would train in earnest, and was hoping (despite his lack of condition, and his long absence from the playing field) to be selected in the next few weeks. He reported that he had previously found that "he was not inconvenienced while on the field", although he did experience great discomfort for some time after each game; and, also, he said, he was confident that, although he had a chronic injury, playing VFL football would not do his injury any further harm. <mask> went on to play seven matches in 1938 (his first, against Collingwood, was in round 11, on 2 July 1938), kicking 32 goals, including nine goals against Geelong in the final round. South finished last on the ladder that season with two wins and sixteen losses. 1939
In 1939, <mask> played 16 games with South Melbourne, scoring 72 goals for the season. Towards the end of the season, there were many rumours that he would retire from football; and, when asked, he said that he would play the last match of the season, and implied that he would be returning to South Melbourne in 1940.Move to Coburg

In 1940 <mask> sought a clearance to fellow VFL side Carlton. When told that he would have to stand out of VFL football for three years to do so, he signed with Coburg Football Club in the VFA; although fellow VFA side Port Melbourne, much of whose territory was shared with South Melbourne, had offered <mask> substantially more. Also transferring to the VFA for the 1940 season was Collingwood full-forward Ron Todd, who moved to Williamstown. With former South Melbourne teammate Laurie Nash at VFA club Camberwell (and still considered amongst the best footballers in the country), and the interest generated by the VFA having legalized throwing the ball in 1938, there was talk that the VFA, traditionally the lesser of the two leagues, would now match the VFL for crowds. In that time he continued his incredible goal scoring record, kicking 183 goals during 1941 (a mark bettered only once in VFA/VFL history, by Ron Todd in 1945), including 22 goals in a game against Sandringham. In all, <mask> played 40 games for Coburg, kicking 263 goals. War service
On 26 February 1942 <mask> enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), serving as a Corporal in the 7th Medical Receiving Station, defending airfields in the Pacific and in Borneo.While in service, <mask> had the opportunity to play football, representing the Stores team in the RAAF competition. Playing at full-forward, <mask> helped Stores to the 1942 RAAF premiership, kicking three goals in the grand final against the "Rookies". <mask> was discharged on 14 November 1945. Post-war career
Returning from overseas duty, <mask> sought to play for South Melbourne in 1945 but was posted north by the RAAF and did not play during the season. <mask> caused a sensation when he attempted a comeback with South Melbourne in 1946 aged 33; he was reported to be marking and kicking at full-forward "in something like his old style" during the pre-season practice matches. Freely granted a clearance from the VFA back to South Melbourne, and looking exceedingly well and seeming keen to play at his best, kicked two early goals in his return match, against Carlton in the first round of the 1946 season, which turned out to be a comparatively entertaining display of football, but also rather tame and blood-less compared with the teams' last meeting in the 1945 "Bloodbath" Grand Final. During the match, <mask> received a career ending leg injury.Interviewed at the time, <mask> said "I'm playing only for the money" but when his wife Olive interrupted and said that he would still play for nothing, <mask> replied "Well, she might be right, too." Asked late in life why he never coached, <mask> replied "It was no trouble to me to do things that the ordinary bloke couldn't do, but if he didn't do it, I couldn't understand why." Personal life
<mask> married Olive Sandstrom on 24 August 1935 at All Saints Church of England in St Kilda, after playing against Geelong earlier that day. His teammate James Reid was best man. Over a thousand people attended the wedding, with over 400 people outside, jostling to see the couple. Two constables were required to keep the crowd away from the church doors and pickpockets took advantage of the crush of people to steal from the crowd. <mask> had a son, <mask> Jr., who also played for South Melbourne; but following a string of injuries, retired following increased business pressures.<mask> worked at various times for the Melbourne Star newspaper, as an inspector of news agencies and as a sales representative for soft drink companies, as well as writing a football column for The Argus newspaper. He also raced greyhounds and played competitive lawn bowls. Following a long illness, <mask> died on 6 January 2001 at Frankston Hospital. Style

<mask> was averse to weights training, believing that it took away from the athleticism required to play football. Instead, he trained with professional sprinters, which he believed helped him as it built his initial acceleration (essential to any footballer) and aided his kicking accuracy. His contemporaries were full of praise for his exploits:

 South Melbourne teammate Laurie Nash once wrote of <mask>; "He was the greatest high mark I have ever seen. How he didn't kill himself in some of his marking efforts I will never know."Richmond legend Jack Dyer wrote that it would be difficult to convey <mask>'s greatness to future generations of football fans who had not been privileged to see him in action. Three-time Brownlow Medal winner Dick Reynolds of Essendon wrote that <mask> was the best forward he had seen, saying that "none rivalled the greatness" of <mask>, adding that he was a master of judgement and long kicking. Of his high-marking skills, Reynolds recalled that <mask> "[would] be waist-up over the whole bloomin' pack sometimes, then he'd almost slide over the top of the squad, swing around over the pack and as he came down you'd think he'd break his neck, but lucky for him he knew how to fall and roll like a cat so he didn't hurt himself." Jack Regan, Collingwood's champion full-back of the 1930s, said that, in all of his years playing senior VFL football, <mask> was his most difficult opponent, and that he stood out from all the other full-forwards he had played against: "The greatness of <mask> apart from his brilliant marking and fine kicking was his determined ground play. When beaten for the mark he would dash for the ball like a terrier". In the opinion of the former West Australian champion rover Johnny Leonard, who had been the captain coach of South Melbourne in 1932 (he played 12 VFL games with South Melbourne in 1932), <mask> was a champion: "I think <mask> was the most freakish footballer I ever saw. He was more freakish than Ted Flemming, and that's saying something.He had a heart as big as a grandstand and stood up to heavy punishment as well as risking a broken neck in his phenomenal leaps for the ball. He was a great footballer". Honours and legacy

In 1996, <mask> was names as an inaugural member of the Australian Football Hall of Fame and, along with 11 other greats of the game, was immediately elevated to "Legend" status, the highest honour in Australian Football. At the time of his death in 2001, he was the last living member of the Swans 1933 Grand Final team. He was named beside Tony Lockett in the forward pocket in their official Team of the Century. Along with <mask> and Paul Kelly, <mask> was named an official "Swans Legend" in 2009. Sydney has named their Leading Goal kicker Award the "<mask> Trophy".His tally of 37 goals in finals football was a club record until 2008. In 2009, The Australian nominated <mask> as one of the 25 greatest footballers never to win a Brownlow medal. In 2000, <mask> was named at full-forward in Coburg's Team of the Century". Notes
