<mask> (30 October 1929 – 8 July 2013) was an English professional footballer who played for Everton, Aston Villa, Huddersfield Town, Liverpool, Cambridge City, Bury and Tranmere Rovers

Club career
<mask> started his football career as a teenager with non-league Ellesmere Port Town, where his robust style and keen eye for goal were noticed by the Everton manager Cliff Britton. He signed for the Toffees in 1948, but serving his stint of National Service delayed his debut for another three years. During this period he played for the Cheshire Army Cadets team, and it was with them that he was coached by the Everton legend Dixie Dean. It is fairly safe to assume that <mask> developed the physical side of his game in this period. <mask> made his debut for Everton in September 1951 against Leeds United, with the Blues in Division Two for only the second season in their history. Hickson was soon a regular fixture in the Everton side. Perhaps the defining moment in <mask>'s career came in Everton's 1952–53 FA Cup run.The Blues were still in Division Two, and home wins against Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forest put Everton into the fifth round, where they were drawn with Manchester United. In front of a capacity crowd at Goodison Park, <mask> launched himself headlong in amongst flying boots and emerged with a huge gash above one eyebrow. Hickson was led off down the tunnel, with the crowd fully expecting Everton to play the remainder with 10 men, as substitutes were not yet permitted. He emerged from the tunnel in the second half, greeted by a huge ovation from the crowd, with a row of freshly applied stitches holding the wound together. Minutes later Hickson scored what would end up as the winning goal, then headed against the post and opened the wound again. Despite pleas from both the referee and his captain to leave the field Hickson remained to the end of the game, his blond hair now red, and his shirt the same colour as the United ones. Hickson was also the match-winner in the quarter final against Aston Villa, with a thunderbolt shot from the edge of the box, after starting the move himself behind the halfway line.An epic year for cup ties this, as Everton next faced Bolton Wanderers at Maine Road. Hickson again received a head injury in this game, and was forced to retire with 15 minutes of the game to go. This was not until he'd scored a goal in an improbable comeback from 4-0 down at half time. The final score was 4–3, with Bolton going on to be defeated by the same score against Blackpool in the "Matthews final". Everton soon returned to Division One, as <mask>'s haul of 25 goals in the 1953–54 season helped them gain promotion to the top flight. After just one season back in the top flight with Everton, Hickson was sold to Aston Villa for £17,500. He never settled at Villa Park and played just 12 games in a brief stay.He moved next to Huddersfield Town, where he spent a further two years. Although his record at Huddersfield was respectable, <mask> was not content and he was happy to return to Goodison for a second spell in 1957 for £7,500. At least the board made a tidy profit on these deals. Hickson's second spell was not as productive as his first, but his passion & determination remained, and the Goodison Park faithful still worshipped him. When Everton sold him to their Merseyside derby rivals Liverpool in 1959, there was much dissent. Hickson was undoubtedly revered at Everton, but equally despised by the red half of the city. Supporters of the Reds, then struggling in Division Two, would soon be appeased.<mask> scored twice on his Liverpool debut at Anfield, watched by a crowd 15,000 higher than the average that season. Days later Liverpool had a new manager, Bill Shankly. Shankly had previously managed <mask> at Huddersfield and again made effective use of Hickson's style. His return of 21 goals in 27 games that season almost took Liverpool back to the top flight. Another near promotion the following year and a return of 16 goals in 33 would see the end of <mask>'s stint with Liverpool. <mask> was now nearing 32 and had to make way for Shankly's new signings. <mask> moved on, via non league Cambridge City, to Bury for a short spell, playing just a handful of games.He headed back to Merseyside in the twilight of his career, with a productive last couple of league seasons at Tranmere Rovers. He was Rovers' leading scorer in the 1962/63 season with 23 goals, at the age of 34. <mask> continued after this outside the Football League, playing for Ellesmere Port Town and Ballymena United (player/manager for both), and as a player at Winsford and Northwich Victoria. It is often said of Hickson that he is the only player to have played "for all three Merseyside clubs". This is wrong for several reasons: two other players, John Heydon and Frank Mitchell, also played for all three of Everton, Liverpool and Tranmere Rovers. But New Brighton were Football League members from 1923–51 and Bill Lacey and Neil McBain played for all three of Everton, Liverpool and New Brighton. In addition, John Whitehead played for Liverpool, Everton and also for Bootle in their one year as a league team (1892/93), before they were replaced in Division 2 by Liverpool.Playing style
His physical approach as centre forward, coupled with his determination soon made him a crowd favourite. Off the pitch, Hickson was a different man, quiet and unassuming, but the <mask>on that pulled on a Blue shirt and entered battle every Saturday afternoon was an aggressive character, no quarter given or asked. This aggression would lead to several run-ins with officials, and three sendings-off during his career, but that was his style & the fans loved it. A youthful Hickson with his striking appearance, fully quiffed up with a shock of blonde hair, as was the style of the day, was one of the few things to get excited about on the terraces of Goodison Park. <mask> soon forged a productive partnership with John Willie Parker, with Hickson being the target man. Although his reputation as an aerial threat was well known, Hickson was also a difficult opponent with the ball on the floor, and could produce a powerful shot, which earned him the nickname Cannonball Kid. Death
On 8 July 2013, Hickson died after a short illness, at the age of 83.His funeral service was held on 25 July 2013 at Liverpool Cathedral. References

<mask> (September 13, 1874 – May 31, 1962) was an American Democratic politician and one of the first two Senators from Arizona. Largely self-educated, he served as a district attorney and member of the Arizona Territorial legislature before fulfilling his childhood ambition of joining the United States Senate. During his time in the Senate, <mask> was chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs and the Judiciary Committee. Called "the longest U.S. theatrical engagement on record" by Time,
<mask>'s political career was noted for a self-contradictory voting record, the use of a sesquipedalian vocabulary, and for a love of public speaking that earned him a reputation as one of the Senate's greatest orators. Among the sobriquets assigned to him were "the Dean of Inconsistency", "Five-Syllable Henry", and the "Silver-Tongued Sunbeam of the Painted Desert". <mask> was born on September 13, 1874 in a covered wagon near Winnemucca, Humboldt County, Nevada to William and <mask>, the second of ten children. His family moved to a ranch near Williams, Arizona when he was two, and he attended school in Flagstaff.At the age of ten he showed his ambition to be a Senator by writing "<mask> <mask>, U.S. Senator from Arizona" into a speller. After dropping out of school at the age of thirteen, he worked as a cowboy on his father's ranch. At the age of nineteen, Ashurst was made the turnkey at the county jail in Flagstaff. While working at the jail, he developed an interest in the law by reading Blackstone's Commentaries. He later worked at a local lumber yard and studied law at night. In 1895, he worked as a lumberjack in the Los Angeles area and as a hod carrier in San Francisco.Following a brief return to Flagstaff, Ashurst enrolled at Stockton Business College (now Humphreys College), and graduated in 1896. Ashurst was admitted to the bar in 1897 and began a law practice in Williams. He completed his formal education with a year at the University of Michigan Law School beginning in 1903. In 1904, Ashurst married Elizabeth McEvoy Reno, an Irish-born widow with four children from her first marriage. She had moved to Flagstaff with her children to establish and manage a Weather Bureau station. She served as his political advisor for the rest of her life. Mrs. <mask> died on November 1, 1939.Political career

<mask> was elected to the Territorial House of Representatives in 1897. He was re-elected in 1899, and became the territory's youngest speaker. In 1902, he was elected to the Territorial Senate. He served as district attorney of Coconino County from 1905 to 1908, when he moved to Prescott, Arizona. In 1911, <mask> presided over Arizona's constitutional convention. During the convention, he positioned himself for a U.S. Senate seat by avoiding the political fighting over various clauses in the constitution which damaged his rivals. With the admission of Arizona as a state in 1912, <mask> was elected by the Arizona legislature as one of the state's two Senators, taking office on April 2 alongside Marcus A. Smith.He was easily re-elected in 1916 (by popular vote), and again in 1922, 1928, and 1934, serving for almost 29 years. He sought re-election in 1940 but was defeated in the Democratic primary. During his early years in the Senate, <mask> was a supporter of the Woodrow Wilson administration and served as chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs between 1914 and 1919. The Democrats lost control of the Senate in 1918, and the presidency in 1920. Ashurst became a critic of Republican leaders and policy. The Democrats regained control in 1932, and <mask> became chairman of the Judiciary Committee, serving until he left the Senate in 1941. While in office, Ashurst focused on the interests of his constituents.He described this focus with the statement: "You (the people of Arizona) send me to Washington to represent you in the Senate. But you do not send me here because you are interested in grave questions of international policy. When I come back to Arizona, you never ask me questions about such policies; instead, you ask me, 'What about my pension?' or 'What about that job for my sons?'" While he routinely read correspondence from his home state, letters and telegrams from other states were normally ignored. During re-election campaigns, Ashurst employed one of his favorite quotations, "Praise undeserved is scandal in disguise." To this end, his normal technique was to confess his faults and shortcomings to the voters while at the same time praising his opponent.During the 1934 elections he even told his constituents "If you don't send me back to the Senate, you'll have an old broken down politician on your hands, and you don't want that." <mask> was popular with Arizona voters; only in the Republican landslide year of 1928 was his margin less than 10%, and in 1934 he won by 46%. But after five terms in the Senate, <mask> was unseated in the 1940 Democratic primary by <mask>. After his defeat, he gave a farewell address to the Senate. The Senate chamber was crowded with fellow Senators and also many U.S. Representatives. Ashurst reflected on the experience of defeat.He said,

Oratory and style

Ashurst had an affection for oration, as expressed by his statement, "I simply love speaking – just as one may like maple syrup, Beethoven, Verdi, or Longfellow, Kipling, or Shakespeare – one hardly knows why." This combined with his courtly manners and impeccable attire earned Ashurst a reputation as the Chesterfield of the Senate. The New York Times said "Sheer eloquence is best personified in the present Senate by Ashurst of Arizona – the debonair, balm-tongued chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Without losing one whit of his eloquence, or missing or misquoting a classical phrase, Ashurst can run the range from buffoonery to some of the most challenging remarks heard in Congress." Ashurst's loquacious nature developed at an early age. After obtaining copies of several speeches by Senator Roscoe Conkling, a prominent 19th-century orator, Ashurst developed his speaking range and ability by thundering the words of other to the plants and rocks of the surrounding countryside. He also read a wide variety of classical and literary sources in an effort to learn as much quotable material as possible.As a result of these early efforts, by the time Ashurst joined Congress he had a well-developed speaker's voice and a wide collection of memorized quotations in both English and Latin. To this was added an interest in etymology that aided his vast vocabulary. Ashurst's most celebrated address came on June 15, 1935, when on the Senate floor he chastised Huey Long with a harangue which Time called "one of the most devastating speeches the chamber ever heard." Other notable speeches by Ashurst dealt with Hugo Black's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1937, a proposed tariff on imported copper in 1932, and U.S. entry into World War I in 1917. Senator Barry Goldwater was so fond of Ashurst's speeches that he compiled fourteen into the book Speeches of <mask> <mask> of Arizona. Ashurst responded to the book with "But, Barry, I made over 5,000 of them." "Dean of Inconsistency"

Through his legislative career, Ashurst maintained a need to be inconsistent in his political actions.He was also noted for an eccentric and flexible record on a variety of issues. Ashurst's pride in his variable record was such that he appointed himself "Dean of Inconsistency" and awarded Degrees of Inconsistency to other Senators who displayed irregular voting patterns. For his critics, he usually kept a supply of tracts on his person explaining the virtue and necessity of being inconsistent and awarded these to his detractors when he was criticized for his incongruous nature. An example of Ashurst's inconsistency is his behavior regarding the Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937. During the 1936 presidential election Ashurst denounced rumors that <mask>. Roosevelt planned to reorganize the Supreme Court by "whittling, chiseling, indirection, circumlocution, periphrasis, and house-that-Jack-built tactics." He furthermore labeled the rumored plan to pack the court with six new justices "a prelude to tyranny". Upon Roosevelt's introduction of the plan, Ashurst became the legislation's sponsor and asserted "I'm for it, it's a step in the right direction.It will be enacted into law immediately." After the bill's introduction, Ashurst then delayed hearings in the Judiciary Committee, saying "No haste, no hurry, no waste, no worry – that is the motto of this committee." As a result of his delaying efforts, the bill was held in committee for 165 days, and opponents of the bill credited Ashurst as instrumental in its defeat. Upon receiving a constituent's congratulatory message for his stand on the bill, Ashurst replied "Dear Madame: Which stand?" Other examples of Ashurst switching positions include:
 Advocacy of Prohibition, followed by a vote to allow 3.2% beer. Voting both for and against the 18th (Prohibition) Amendment. His four votes on veteran's bonuses, two for and two against, which generated the comment "What of it?At least I was fifty per cent right, which is a pretty good record for a politician." Even his speaking skills could contribute to his inconsistency, as was the case on January 21, 1914. Ashurst gave a three-hour speech in support of the Nineteenth Amendment (for women's suffrage), which exhausted the time available to vote on it, and delayed its passage. Retirement and death
During his farewell speech in the Senate, Ashurst indicated his intention to retire to Arizona, saying, "When you are here worrying about patronage, worrying about committee assignments, worrying about bills, I shall possibly be enjoying the ecstasy of the starry stillness of an Arizona desert night, or enjoying the scarlet glory of her blossoming cactus, and possibly I may be wandering through the Petrified Forest in Arizona." But instead of going home, he accepted a position on the U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals, serving from April 8, 1941 until his retirement on February 28, 1943. After his retirement, Ashurst lived in Washington, D.C., devoting his time to classical poetry and public speaking. He also made several public appearances.<mask> was a contestant on the television game show The $64,000 Question; he missed a question, but received a Cadillac car as a consolation prize. He also made a cameo appearance in the film Advise and Consent, in the role of "Senator McCafferty". Ashurst suffered a stroke on May 15, 1962 and was admitted to Georgetown University Hospital where he died on May 31, 1962. Ashurst kept a journal from June 1910 to July 27, 1937 which contains pen portraits of several fellow Senators. The journal was edited by George F. Sparks and published in 1962 under the title A Many Colored Toga. See also

<mask> (born November 27, 1945) is an American trumpeter, flugelhornist, and composer. His versatility has made him a popular studio musician who has recorded with acts in jazz, rock, and R&B. Early life
<mask> was born on November 27, 1945, in the Philadelphia suburb of Cheltenham to a musical family. His father Bob (Bobby) was a lawyer who played jazz piano and his mother Sylvia was a portrait artist. <mask> described his father as "a semipro jazz pianist and trumpet fanatic. In school when I was eight, they only offered trumpet or clarinet. I chose trumpet from hearing Diz, Miles, Clifford, and Chet Baker at home.My brother (<mask>) didn't want to play the same instrument as I did, so three years later he chose the clarinet!" <mask>'s father, Bob, was also a songwriter and singer who loved to listen to recordings of the great jazz trumpet players such as Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and Clifford Brown. He took <mask> and his younger brother Michael Brecker to see Davis, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, and many other jazz icons.

<mask>. O'Neill (born 10 April 1976) is a former United States Navy SEAL (1996–2012) and former Fox News contributor. After participating in May 2011's Operation Neptune Spear with SEAL Team Six, O'Neill was the subject of controversy for claiming to be the sole individual to kill Osama bin Laden. Personal life
Born in Butte, Montana on 10 April 1976, <mask>. O'Neill is the son of Tom O'Neill, <mask> and <mask>, and the brother of Tom O'Neill. O'Neill described his childhood in Butte as "idyllic". He graduated from Butte Central High School in 1994, and has attended Montana Technological University. O'Neill married in March 2004, and has at least two children, though he and his spouse were legally separated by February 2013. A fan of the Washington Redskins, O'Neill was able to meet the team a week after his claim of shooting bin Laden was publicized in 2014.On 20 August 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, O'Neill tweeted a selfie of himself seated aboard a Delta Air Lines plane without a face mask; it was captioned "I'm not a pussy" and was followed by another that said, "Thank God it wasn't @Delta flying us in when we killed bin Laden … we weren't wearing masks". He later tweeted that he was banned by Delta. Career

United States Navy
O'Neill told Esquire that he found himself in a United States Navy recruiting office after a relationship breakup. After expressing interest in becoming a sniper, O'Neill enlisted on 29 January 1996, and joined the Navy SEALs that same year. O'Neill reported to Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training (BUD/S) at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado and graduated from BUD/S class 208. In 2013, O'Neill told The Montana Standard that he helped rescue SEAL Marcus Luttrell in Afghanistan, and that he was SEAL Team Six's "lead paratrooper" in the rescue of Richard Phillips from the Maersk Alabama hijacking; these missions were the bases of the 2013 films Lone Survivor and Captain Phillips, respectively. However, the former commander of SEAL Team Six said in 2014 that O'Neill had not played a "singular role" on either mission, adding that "O’Neill's specific role on any of these missions is irrelevant because everything we do is as a team."During his enlistment, O'Neill received two Silver Stars, four Bronze Star Medals, a Joint Service Commendation Medal (with "V" device), three Presidential Unit Citations, and two Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals (with "V" device). He served with SEAL Teams Two (1996–2001), Four (2001–2004), and Six (2004–2012), and attained the rank of senior chief petty officer. Upon his discharge from the Navy on 24 August 2012 (after ), O'Neill was still assigned to SEAL Team Six at Virginia Beach, Virginia and had six months and 15 days of sea service to his credit. O'Neill claimed in 2014 that he left the military because he no longer felt "adrenaline when people are shooting, and I knew that that could lead to complacency because if I am not afraid of, that I might wind up doing something stupid thinking that I can't get hurt". O'Neill estimated that with the Navy and SEALs, he annually earned . Killing Osama bin Laden

In an anonymous February 2013 interview, O'Neill told Esquire that he had killed Osama bin Laden during Operation Neptune Spear. In late 2014, in the run-up to credited Fox News and Washington Post stories on the same topic, O'Neill's name was leaked by other former special forces personnel who were protesting his violation of "a code of silence that forbids them from publicly taking credit for their actions."O'Neill claimed that he and another unnamed member of SEAL Team Six cornered bin Laden, and that after the other SEAL fired and missed, O'Neill killed the terrorist leader with shots to the head. Fellow SEAL Matt Bissonnette claims in No Easy Day that the unnamed sailor actually fired the killing shots. According to The Intercept interview of a former SEAL Team 6 member, when O'Neill arrived at the terrorist leader, bin Laden was already "bleeding out on the floor, possibly already dead, after being shot in the chest and leg by the lead assaulter on the raid." According to another SEAL, O'Neill merely walked over to the immobile al-Qaeda leader and shot him twice in the head. The Intercept said that both O'Neill's and Bissonnette's accountings of the mission "contain multiple self-serving falsehoods." , the federal government of the United States had neither confirmed nor denied O'Neill's claims, though Rear Admiral Brian L. Losey and Force Master Chief Michael Magaraci did encourage all SEALs to abide by their code of silence, saying, "At Naval Special Warfare's core is the SEAL ethos […] A critical  of our ethos is 'I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions.' Our ethos is a life-long commitment and obligation, both in and out of the service.Violators of our ethos are neither teammates in good standing, nor teammates who represent Naval Special Warfare." Of his decision to lay claim to killing bin Laden, O'Neill told CBS News that "I think it's a difficult secret to keep, […] Everyone was proud. I think it was apparent that we had done it." In 2015, O'Neill and his family were allegedly threatened by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. In 2017, he published a book with Simon & Schuster (The Operator, ) about his childhood, joining the SEALs, Naval counterterrorism, and Operation Neptune Spear. On October 14, 2020, US President Donald Trump re-tweeted an unfounded conspiracy theory that suggested Osama bin Laden was still alive and a body double was shot. O'Neill responded with a series of tweets, including "It was not a body double.Thank you Mr. President." That same month, CNN published an interview with retired Admiral William H. McRaven; the former flag officer who oversaw Neptune Spear responded to the claims mentioning that "Rob O'Neill, the SEAL that, in fact, shot bin Laden". Speaking
After separating from the US Navy, O'Neill began working as a motivational speaker. In 2015, he became a contributor to the cable news channel Fox News, though had left the company by August 2021, instead appearing on competitor Newsmax TV that October. References

<mask> (born 5 July 1979) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the West Coast Eagles and the St Kilda Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Originally from Albany, Western Australia, <mask> played for the Claremont Football Club in the West Australian Football League (WAFL) before being drafted by West Coast with the number-one pick in the 1996 National Draft. He made his debut for the club in 1997, and over the next seasons replaced Ryan Turnbull as the club's first-choice ruckman. After being named in the All-Australian team in 2003, <mask> missed most of the 2004 season due to injury. Loss of form and a series of off-field controversies led to him being traded to St Kilda at the end of the 2006 season, having played total of 129 games for West Coast. During his time at St Kilda, <mask> added another 52 games, including St Kilda's 2009 and 2010 losing grand final teams, before retiring at the end of the 2011 season. Early life
<mask> was born in Albany, Western Australia, and played junior football for the Royals Football Club before heading to Perth Western Australia to play for Claremont Football Club in the WAFL.West Coast Eagles career
<mask> was the number 1 draft pick in the 1996 National Draft. <mask> debuted in 1997 at only 17 years of age. There were big wraps on <mask> as an emerging ruckman/forward. He did not disappoint, winning a Rising Star nomination in 1997 and All Australian selection in 2003. However, he was then limited by chronic knee injuries, and played 18 games in the next three seasons with the Eagles with Dean Cox becoming the leading ruckman in the AFL competition. Off-field controversies
In May 2005, <mask> and then West Coast teammate Ben Cousins were criticised for involvement with a group of alleged Perth underworld figures. Cousins and <mask> allegedly received phone calls from gangland figures both before and after a stabbing and shooting at the Metro City nightclub.Police questioned Cousins and <mask> about the incident but they refused to aid the inquiries. The Eagles told the pair that they were on their "last warning" and that their off field behaviour would not be tolerated. <mask>'s off field lifestyle was often seen as detrimental to the West Coast playing group and, in February 2006, in the midst of the Ben Cousins booze bus incident, he was dropped to the Western Australian Football League side Claremont indefinitely on grounds of poor performance and poor off field behaviour. On 18 July 2006, <mask>'s playing contract was suspended indefinitely and he was fined $5,000 following his involvement in a traffic accident in the Perth suburb of Scarborough. While he escaped the accident with only minor injuries, West Coast Eagles chief executive Trevor Nisbett said that it was highly unlikely the club would renew his contract at the end of the year. St Kilda Football Club

2006 Trade Period
With <mask>'s football career in limbo due to his effective sacking by the West Coast Eagles, speculation linked him with a trade to a Victorian-based club, with St Kilda or Carlton touted as the most likely destination for the ruckman. During the 2006 AFL Trade Period, the Eagles traded <mask> to St Kilda with a swap of third round draft picks (No.43 for No. 59). 2007 season
Due to persistent injuries, <mask> was unable to play any competitive AFL football during the 2007 season. 2008 season
<mask> started his St Kilda career by playing in the Saints' 2008 NAB Cup winning side, only the third time St Kilda had won a pre-season cup. During the AFL season <mask>, hampered by injury, only managed to play 8 games. However, his attitude and effort in training, combined with the glimpses of form and class he showed in his handful of games warranted playing on again the next season. 2009 season

The 2009 season saw <mask> return to some of his best football form.<mask> played in 16 of 22 matches in the 2009 home and away season in which St Kilda finished top of the ladder, winning the club's third minor premiership. He averaged 10 disposals and 20.5 hit outs per game, while proving a threat up forward, kicking 12 goals for the season. Though unfortunate to narrowly miss out on selection, <mask>'s return to form and value to the St Kilda side saw him touted as a potential All-Australian selection. <mask> played his 150th game of AFL football in the Saints' Round 13 match against Richmond, a remarkable milestone for a player who had battled persistent injuries that saw him cut down in his prime, before being delisted by the West Coast Eagles in 2006. Another of the highlights of the season for <mask> occurred the next week in the Round 14 blockbuster clash between the two undefeated sides of the competition - the Saints and the Cats. In front of an AFL record crowd of 54, 444 at Docklands Stadium, <mask> kicked four goals including the match-winner after a spectacular mark in the closing minutes of the game. <mask> would receive 3 Brownlow Medal votes in recognition of his performance as best player on ground against the Cats.St Kilda qualified for the 2009 AFL Grand Final after qualifying and preliminary finals wins. <mask> played in the grand final in which St Kilda were defeated by 12 points. 2010 season
<mask> had a stellar 2010 season. He played 22 games, the most he had ever played in a single season, during which he averaged 10.5 disposals, 17 hit-outs a game and kicked 10 goals for the year. He combined his aggression and mobility around the ground with masterful ruck performances, recording a top three finish in the competition for hit-outs to advantage. During the season, <mask> hit the headlines for a late night altercation with Carlton Football Club's Mitch Robinson. However, <mask>'s onfield performances helped the Saints reach the Grand Final, particularly his critical role in the Saints' Preliminary Final victory over the Bulldogs which included his kicking the first goal of the game.However, during the first half of the Grand Final, <mask> sustained a hamstring injury which prevented him from playing on, his absence being notable in a tightly contested drawn match. This injury led to his omission from the Grand Final Replay which the Saints would go on to lose. 2011 season
Hampered by persistent injuries throughout the season, <mask> was only able to play in one match – the round 24 victory against Carlton which secured finals football for the Saints. During the game, <mask> proved he had lost none of his ability with a 10 disposal half before being subbed out. The Carlton match would prove to be <mask>'s last AFL game before retiring after the Saints elimination final defeat to Sydney the following week. <mask> played 52 games for the Saints, during which time he returned to pre-eminence as one of the best ruckmen in the game and played a pivotal role in the Saints challenging for premierships during the 2009 and 2010 seasons. colspan=3| Career

<mask> (November 20, 1896 – January 22, 1971) was a Canadian naval officer, journalist, and publisher. His role in a controversy over Canadian naval operations in 1943, near the height of the Battle of the Atlantic, continues to be debated by Canadian naval historians. In 1943 <mask>'s criticisms of the leadership of the Royal Canadian Navy, based on his personal experience and published in one of his magazines, led to questions in the House of Commons about the management of naval operations. Further investigations later that year eroded beyond repair the naval minister's confidence in Vice-Admiral Percy Nelles, until then chief of the Canadian naval staff, and Nelles was replaced early in 1944. Early years

<mask> was born in Toronto, the only child of <mask> and Elizabeth ('Bessie') Emma Matilda (née <mask>) <mask>. His mother died when he was six months old and he was raised by his maternal grandmother, <mask>. His grandfather, Thomas W<mask>, was the advertising and circulations manager of The Toronto Mail and of the Toronto Empire, and a founder of A. McKim and Company, the first advertising agency in Canada.<mask> was educated at Appleby College, Upper Canada College, and University of Toronto Schools. The Maclean publishing enterprises

In the 1880s and 1890s, <mask>'s father Hugh and uncle John Bayne Maclean — they adopted different spellings of their surname – worked together to build a substantial Canadian publishing enterprise. In 1899 J.B. Maclean bought out his brother and assumed full control of the Maclean Publishing Company, which later became Maclean-Hunter and then Rogers Communications. <mask> built a separate company, Hugh C. MacLean Publications, later part of Southam Publishing, then Canwest and then Postmedia News. J.B. Maclean's son and heir <mask> <mask> died in 1919, and he soon after proposed that <mask>, his nephew, succeed to a controlling interest in his publishing empire. <mask>, however, would make his business career with his father at Hugh C. MacLean Publications. Control of Maclean-Hunter eventually passed to Horace T. Hunter and other associates of J.B. Maclean, including Floyd Chalmers.Naval career and controversy

At the outbreak of the First World War, <mask> volunteered for service in the Royal Navy. After initial rejection because he was underage, he graduated from Royal Naval College, Greenwich in January 1917 and was commissioned as a Sub-lieutenant R.N.V.R. He served in the Mediterranean with the First Submarine Hunting Flotilla. He was promoted on the recommendation of Admiral Sir David Beatty, 1st Earl Beatty and served in HMS Cleopatra – a fast cruiser that saw action in the North Sea with the Grand Fleet. He witnessed the German Navy's surrender at Scapa Flow. From 1927 to 1931, as a member of the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve, he commanded the Toronto naval reserve station HMCS York. At the outbreak of the Second World War, while awaiting call up as a Canadian reserve naval officer, the ever-patriotic <mask> joined the Royal Canadian Air Force RCAF and served in its Marine Section before returning to the Royal Canadian Navy [RCN].Sent on loan to the Royal Navy, he was given command of a convoy trawler, HMS St. Zeno. He later represented the Admiralty for the acceptance trials of Fairmile Submarine Chasers and Motor Gun Boats. He was ordered back to Canada to organise RCN Submarine Chasers and became Senior Officer Fairmiles. Fairmiles, motor launches 34 metres long with a crew of about 15, were useful for coastal duties, but the ocean-going anti-submarine war was dominated by corvettes. <mask> campaigned for modernization and reorganization of the Fairmile fleet and, more generally, for better treatment of reserve officers like himself. <mask> saw the careerism of some civil servants and senior officers as dereliction of duty. His frustration with the naval command led to his retirement from the navy in October 1942, age 45.He returned to the family publishing business and subsequently made his concerns public in an issue of Boating Magazine. <mask> outlined his experience with the Fairmiles and argued that the expertise of patriotic and dedicated naval reserve personnel like himself was being dismissed by the small coterie of permanent force officers who dominated Canadian naval headquarters. <mask>'s blunt criticisms provoked questions in the Canadian Parliament and a rebuttal from the Minister of National Defence for naval services, Angus Lewis Macdonald

The controversy over <mask>'s charges was followed in the summer and fall of 1943 by confidential in-service criticisms from active duty officers, many of them reserve officers. These focussed on the outdated equipment and inadequate training of the RCN corvette fleet that was then engaged in transatlantic convoy duty and the anti-submarine campaign. The Naval Minister lost confidence in Vice-Admiral Percy C. Nelles, and he was removed as Chief of the Naval Staff in January 1944. Nelles's strengths and weaknesses, and the degree to which <mask>'s attack had eroded Minister Macdonald's confidence in the naval high command before the corvette officers' "equipment crisis," continue to be debated by Canadian scholars. <mask> is not mentioned in the official Operational History of the Royal Canadian Navy in the Second World War, but a critical account of his actions by historian Richard Mayne led in 2014-15 to publication of a defence of <mask> by his son, the author <mask>, and a response by Mayne.Publishing career

Following the end of the First World War, <mask> had joined Hugh C. MacLean Publishing and worked for the company for most of the next forty years. Between 1932 and 1934, he served as Secretary to Prime Minister R. B. Bennett and later published his reminiscences of Bennett. <mask> became a director of Hugh C. MacLean Publishing in 1922 and president in 1947 after the death of his father. During that time he launched Canada's first photo tabloid newspaper, the Toronto News Mirror (1923–25). He later founded the Canadian Magazine. In addition he was a director of the Muskoka Navigation & Hotel Company for many years. In 1954 Hugh C. MacLean Publications built Canada's most modern printing plant in Don Mills.At the time the firm's fifteen publications had a combined readership of 145,000. In 1961, following a family dispute, the Board replaced <mask> as president. In 1964 the firm became part of Southam Business Publications..

Later life
MacLean carried on the family publishing tradition under the name Andrew MacLean Limited. Based in Gravenhurst, Ontario he published a number of weekly newspapers, including Muskoka News. He married twice, and had five children: Hugh Armstrong <mask>, Hector Iain <mask>, author <mask>, <mask> <mask> and Marlie <mask>. He died in Nassau, Bahamas. Notes

Major <mask> (July 16, 1919 – July 16, 2009) was a United States Marine who received the Medal of Honor for his conspicuous gallantry on Peleliu in September 1944 while leading his men in an assault on a strategic hill, and for holding it, with rocks and bare fists when ammunition ran low, against Japanese suicide attacks. Early life
<mask> was born on July 16, 1919, in Milton, Massachusetts, the son of <mask> and <mask>. He later moved to North Quincy, where he graduated from North Quincy High School in 1936. He attended Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, and excelled in both academics and athletics. He was the captain of the state-champion tennis team and was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society and the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Shortly after graduating magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in French in June 1941, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. In about 1942, <mask> married his high school sweetheart, Eleanor Hawkins.The couple had two sons, Laurence E. and Ralph H<mask>. Laurence later served as the U.S. Ambassador to Chad. Marine Corps career
After basic training, <mask> attended Officer Candidate School and, on November 1, 1941, was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve. He trained at Quantico, Virginia, and New River, North Carolina, then went overseas in June 1942 with 1st Battalion, 1st Marines. On August 7, 1942, as the leader of a machine gun platoon, he participated in the landing and action at Guadalcanal. In 1943, he was transferred to Melbourne, Australia, with his unit.Later, he again went into combat, as a company commander with the 1st Marine Regiment, in the Cape Gloucester, New Britain campaign, from December 1943 to April 1944. In the mopping-up operations which followed, he led a 14-man patrol that in one day killed 20 and captured seven enemy soldiers during a  trek over jungle trails. From September 12 to 30, 1944, he took part in action in the Peleliu campaign during which he acted with "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty", and for which he would later be awarded the Medal of Honor and the Purple Heart. Wounded in action on September 20, he returned to duty the next day, and remained overseas until November 1944. <mask> was promoted to major in January 1945 and assigned for one year as a student in the Japanese language course at Yale University. On July 16, 1946, he was assigned an inactive duty status in the Marine Corps, and returned to his home and private employment in Massachusetts. There he became affiliated with the Marine Corps Reserve and commanded the 2nd Infantry Battalion, USMCR, Hingham, Massachusetts, until August 1950, when he was called to active duty with his battalion upon the outbreak of the Korean War.He served as executive officer of 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, until September 1951, when he was released to inactive duty and, shortly thereafter, resigned his commission in the Marine Corps. Medal of Honor action

On September 20, 1944, Captain <mask> and his company set out to storm Hill 100, the steep and barren coral southern slope of a long ridge that the Japanese dubbed "East Mountain" as it sat to the east of the center of Bloodynose ridge. Initially, the Marines had the support of two M4 Sherman tanks, but on the approach to Hill 100 both of them slipped off of the sides of a narrow causeway, immobilizing them. Miraculously, although this narrow causeway was a prime target for the Japanese, all of Captain <mask>'s men managed to run across it without sustaining any casualties. Heavy fire from adjacent ridges across Horseshoe Valley to the West and Southwest plagued the Marines at the base of the hill and continued to do so as they made their steady ascent. Upon reaching the peak of Hill 100 and sustaining over 60 casualties in the process, the Marines realized that their maps were wrong and that "hill" 100 was actually a very long and narrow ridge with high ground and Japanese positions several yards to their north. From almost point-blank range, Japanese mortars and field guns opened up on them from atop the ridge as well as from the adjacent peaks and hills in the surrounding area.<mask> and his men took Hill 100 at dusk after hours of bloody fighting that nearly annihilated the group. Forced to deploy his men thinly, he nevertheless determined to hold his ground for the night. Immediately after darkness fell, the Japanese started to attack, first in small infiltrating bands, then in groups of 20 to 25. Each time, the Marines opened fire with everything they had: one light machine gun, several Tommy guns and rifles, and a limited supply of hand grenades. When the grenades ran low, they hurled rocks. "We would throw three or four rocks, then a grenade. The Japanese didn't know which were which," one Marine said.By sunrise, the Marines were beating off the enemy with bare fists and hurling ammunition boxes at them. Finally only eight riflemen remained. When daylight brought deadly Japanese artillery fire, <mask> was ordered to withdraw and did so under the cover of smoke shells. For these actions, <mask> was presented with the Medal of Honor by President Harry Truman during a ceremony in 1945. It was Truman's first Medal of Honor presentation, and he told <mask> that he would rather have the medal than be president. Later life

After his military service, <mask> began a career as a banker. He was president of the Workmen's Co-operative Bank in Boston, Massachusetts, for more than 25 years beginning in 1953.At the start of his tenure, he was the youngest bank president in New England at age 34. He worked in savings and loans and supported the federal student loan program, serving in 1982 as the first chairman of the board of Massachusetts Higher Education Assistance Corporation. After retiring in 1983, he returned to Brunswick, Maine, and lived near his alma mater, Bowdoin College. He was active on Bowdoin's governing boards for 27 years, from 1961 to 1988, serving as president of the board of overseers and chair of the board of trustees. He established the Pope Scholarship Fund in the 1980s and, with other Bowdoin alumni, established the Haldane Cup, an award presented to a senior who demonstrates the leadership and character of Marine Corps Captain Andrew Haldane. Haldane, who was killed in the Battle of Peleliu, was the captain of the 1940 Bowdoin football team and a classmate of <mask>. In 1987, the school awarded <mask> an honorary Doctor of Laws degree.<mask> and his wife Eleanor lived on Amelia Island in Florida and on Great Pond in Belgrade Lakes, Maine, before failing health spurred them to return to the midcoast area of Maine to be nearer their sons. The couple entered the Hill House assisted-living facility in Bath in September 2008. His wife died there in January 2009, and <mask> himself died six months later, on the morning of his 90th birthday. <mask> and <mask> were cremated and, on September 15, 2009, buried together in Arlington National Cemetery. Medal of Honor citation
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the MEDAL OF HONOR to

for service as set forth in the following CITATION:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as Commanding Officer of Company C, First Battalion, First Marines, First Marine Division, during action against enemy Japanese forces on Peleliu Island, Palau Group, on 19–20 September 1944. Subjected to point-blank cannon fire which caused heavy casualties and badly disorganized his company while assaulting a steep coral hill, Captain <mask> rallied his men and gallantly led them to the summit in the face of machine-gun, mortar, and sniper fire. Forced by widespread hostile attack to deploy the remnants of his company thinly in order to hold the ground won, and with his machine-guns out of action and insufficient water and ammunition, he remained on the exposed hill with twelve men and one wounded officer, determined to hold through the night.Attacked continuously with grenades, machine-guns, and rifles from three sides and twice subjected to suicidal charges during the night, he and his valiant men fiercely beat back or destroyed the enemy, resorting to hand-to-hand combat as the supply of ammunition dwindled and still maintaining his lines with his eight remaining riflemen when daylight brought more deadly fire and he was ordered to withdraw. His valiant leadership against devastating odds while protecting the units below from heavy Japanese attack reflects the highest credit upon Captain <mask> and the United States Naval Service

<mask>  is an Italian guitarist / singer / songwriter/ videomaker and musician from Trento, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. Early life
<mask> started her professional career as a musician in the 2009, when she left her job as press officer in a software house and devoted herself entirely to music. Since her childhood she had composed many songs but had never played in a club or officially released a record. <mask> came from a worker-farmer family in which the primary objective was the concreteness of a safe job. So as a teenager she entered the world of work, initially working only during the summer season, then after she turned 20 she began working permanently to pay the rent and to support her studies at the University of Philosophy in Trento and then the specialization in Verona. In those years she never stopped making music but she limited it to her spare time and rather secretly. Around 2004 <mask> saw on MTV Italia the rapper J-Ax talking about the online sharing platform for musicians names MYSPACE.<mask> decided to join the site under the name of Reiniku. With that name <mask> put many of her pieces online and for the first time she came into contact with many other Italian and international musicians and started new collaborations. In the end of 2008, <mask>li started to embrace the idea of dedicating herself to the world of music but the work activities to pay rent and the university specialization attendance still took a large part of her time. Towards the end of 2008 pushed by a friend, one late evening under the arcades of Piazza Maggiore in Bologna she played some of her songs on the street for the first time. When someone left 5 Euros in her case, <mask> realized that perhaps she could make her songs and pay the rent at the same time. The beginnings of busking and life on the road
And so, in 2009, she left her job to begin to dedicate herself entirely to music, first by doing street concerts and immediately afterwards club shows. She also stopped her studies at the University, focusing all of her time and energy on her new career.In that time she was living between Bologna, in the north center of Italy considered "the music city", an open-mind environment, full of artists, and another city Trento her family's town, a smaller and quiet town not too far from Germany. Famous for the Council of Trent. At the same time, she was participating in numerous contests for emerging songwriters, both local and national. From the beginning <mask> immediately attracted attention in the local scene of Trento, When she was asked the question in an interview for a local contest for emerging artists "What is jour job? she answered: "I'm a musician, I play my songs in the street to pay my rent". Manuel Codignoni  "<mask>, vita on the road" TGR "Il Settimanale" 4/3/2010

What shocked the Bologna and Trentino public was also the fact that she was a female musician playing her songs in the streets or in some bars all over Italy, using just the train as a means of transportation and without any roadie support. At the time in Italy it was very rare to even hear about female singer-songwriters and especially in the small town of Trento.For this reason, even before releasing her first official record, in 2011 <mask> was already a name in the local scene and often on the newspapers and even on the local TVs. From the Premio Pavanello to the release of the first EP

In early September 2010, <mask>li won the Premio Pavanello, national contest for young songwriters Marika Damaggio "Premio Pavanello"  Marika Damaggio " Pavanello a <mask>li: i Poeti la mia ispirazione

In early 2012 <mask>li bought her first electric guitar. Before that she had played only classical or acoustic guitars. The change in her sound became evident in her first album Motori e Introspezioni. Essentially based on her raw electric guitar sounds and the percussions of Stefano Orzes. The album was recorded in June 2012 at the Igloo Audio Factory in Correggio (Reggio Emilia)   during the days of the
Northern Italian Earthquakes.Motori e introspezioni contains the cover of Franco Battiato ’s song  "Aria di Rivoluzione" and the musical adaption
of the poem "L’Albatros" by Charles Baudelaire. The album was recorded and arranged by Andrea Sologni of Gazebo Penguins
and it was released in the autumn of 2012 with the digital distribution by Orchard and Audioglobe. The second album: the increase in notoriety in the Italian indie scene

During the summer of 2014, <mask> launched an online fundraising campaign for the production of her second album La Trasformazione. The campaign was launched on the digital platform Music Raiser. The platform was founded by Giovanni Gulino, leader of the historical alternative Italian band Marta sui Tubi and the dj and producer Tania Varuni. The campaign was successful and during the autumn <mask> recorded the album in Bologna at the Studio Spaziale  with the audio engineering Enrico Baraldi and Rettura. During the recordings time the indie label Riff Records propose to be part of the production and of the release of the album with the distributor partner Good Fellas and the publisher Buzz Supreme.The album was released in March 2015.

The promotional launch of the second album of <mask>li was handled by the press agency Fleisch whose roster is composed by the most quoted Italian alternative rock bands; like Afterhours and Verdena. In April 2015 <mask> entered the contest Bologna Palco Aperto. A contest dedicated to the memory of Roberto “Freak” Antoni, leader of Skiantos.The art director of the contest was the Italian singer-songwriter Eugenio Finardi. <mask> won the first prize which consisted of playing on the workers' day Festival on May 1 in Piazza Maggiore in Bologna. On that occasion, <mask> came in contact with Giuvazza,  guitarist and producer of Finardi, with which she began a collaboration. Their first works together materialized after some months with the production of the song Inconsapevoli on which Giuvazza did the artistic production. They proposed the song to the popular contest Sanremo Giovani (Sanremo Young) but the song was refused. Giuvazza did the artistic production of other subsequent songs of the songwriter and which are found in her third album Tempus Fugit. In the autumn of 2015 Rockit, an Italian music fanzine, put <mask>li in a special list of 10 most interesting Italian female indie singer-songwriters.The 2017 American Release of La Trasformazione video was subsequently accepted for the Grammy 2018 First Round Ballots.

<mask> (April 30, 1881April 23, 1950) was a prominent American architect, and chief designer in the offices of Horace Trumbauer. He contributed to the design of more than 400 buildings, including the Widener Memorial Library at Harvard University (1912–15), Philadelphia's
Central Library (1917–27), and the Philadelphia Museum of Art (1914–28). He was the primary designer of the west campus of Duke University (1924–54). <mask>'s contributions to the Trumbauer firm were great, but the only building for which he claimed authorship during Trumbauer's lifetime was Duke University Chapel. Following Trumbauer's 1938 death, he co-headed the architectural firm and designed additional buildings at Duke, including Allen Administrative Building and Cameron Indoor Stadium. Background
<mask> was born in Philadelphia into a prominent family. His maternal grandfather was Robert Jones, who in the late 18th century founded the city's Lombard Street Central Presbyterian Church.He was also related to Absalom Jones, who established the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas in 1794, the first Black church in Philadelphia. His nephew, <mask> Cook, worked as the Building Coordinator for Howard University, and Abele's son, <mask> <mask>, Jr. was an architectural engineer. Abele worked in many media: watercolor, lithography, etching and pencil, wood, iron, gold and silver. He designed and constructed all of his own furniture, even doing the petit point himself. While he knew many historic styles, he seemed to love Louis XIV French most of all. Education

Abele attended the Quaker-run Institute for Colored Youth, which later became Cheyney University, where he excelled in mathematics and was chosen to deliver the commencement address. In 1898, he completed a two-year architectural drawing course at the Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Art (PMSIA, now University of the Arts).He was the first Black student admitted to the Department of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania. This achievement was all the more noteworthy for the restrictions Black people faced at the university, including not being able to live in dormitories or dine in the school's cafeteria. On projects assigned to pairs of students, he partnered with Louis Magaziner, the only Jewish student in the department, who also faced discrimination. This was the beginning of a lifelong friendship between the two. He won a 1901 student competition to design a Beaux Arts pedestrian gateway. His submission was in the form of an exedra – a curved bench flanked by piers, but with steps passing through its center. This became his first commission when it was built on the campus of Haverford College.The Edward B. Conklin Memorial Gate stands at the Railroad Avenue entrance to the college. He was widely respected among his peers, earning the nickname "Willing and Able", and also won student awards for his designs for a post office and a museum of botany, and he was elected as the president of the university's Architectural Society. He became the University of Pennsylvania architecture department's first Black graduate in 1902. He worked part-time for a local architect and attend evening classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Under the financial sponsorship of Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer, he traveled through France and Italy, an experience that was to influence his design work throughout his life. École des Beaux-Arts
Between 1903 and his hiring by Horace Trumbauer in 1906, Abele traveled throughout Europe. His descendants contend that he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris during his stay.But Sandra L. Tatman, co-author of The Biographical Dictionary of Philadelphia Architects, 1700-1930, could find no record of his having been enrolled at the École. She allows that he may have been permitted to informally sit in on the school's atelier. She also notes that Abele listed travel to France, Italy, England, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain on his membership application to the American Institute of Architects (AIA), but not study at the École des Beaux-Arts. Career

Immediately after his graduation from UPenn in 1902, Abele traveled west to Spokane, Washington, where he designed a house for his sister, <mask> Cook, before returning east. In 1906, Abele joined the Trumbauer firm as assistant to chief designer Frank Seeburger. When Seeburger left the firm in 1909, Abele advanced to chief designer. Abele's stature within the firm was no secret; he was the second-highest paid employee.He was an architect. Art historian David B. Brownlee studied the 14-year effort to design and build the Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1914-28. He credits Trumbauer architect Howell Lewis Shay with the building's plan and massing, but notes that the final perspective drawings are in Abele's distinctive hand. Design of the exterior terracing, including the front steps celebrated in the 1976 film Rocky, is credited to <mask>. Following Trumbauer's death in 1938, the firm continued until 1950 under the name "Office of Horace Trumbauer," co-headed by <mask> and William O. Frank. Commissions were hard to come by during The Depression and World War II, but the firm completed Duke Indoor Stadium at Duke University in 1940, which was renamed Cameron Indoor Stadium in 1972, and later made additions to Duke's Library (1948) and designed Duke's Allen Administrative Building (1954). When Abele joined the American Institute of Architects in 1942, Philadelphia Museum of Art director Fiske Kimball called him "one of the most sensitive designers in America".Smithsonian Magazine described him, in a career retrospective, as "probably the most accomplished [Black architect] of his era." Despite being the primary designer of Duke University, Abele was refused accommodations at a Durham hotel during a visit to campus. Although it was not until 1988 that a portrait of him was displayed at the University, the main quad at Duke University is now officially named Abele Quad with a dedication plaque prominently placed at the busiest spot on campus. Personal
In 1925, at the age of 44, he married Marguerite Bulle, a French pianist 20 years his junior. They had three children: <mask>, Jr., Marguerite Marie <mask> (died young), and Nadia Boulanger <mask>. Marguerite left him in 1936, to become the common-law wife of opera singer Jozef Kowalewski, with whom she had three additional children. Because Abele never took action to divorce his wife, the Kowalewski children shared in his estate.He died from a heart attack in 1950, in Philadelphia and is interred at Eden Cemetery in Collingdale, Pennsylvania. Legacy
The Allen Administration Building at Duke University, which he designed, was completed after his death in 1950. In 1988 Duke University honored Abele with his portrait that is displayed in the main lobby of the Allen Building. It was the first portrait of an African-American to be displayed on the campus. To prominently acknowledge his contribution to Duke University's West Campus, the main quad at Duke is now officially named Abele Quad with a dedication plaque prominently placed at the very center of west campus. On August 17, 2012, construction began on <mask>e Park, at 22nd & Carpenter Streets in Philadelphia. Architectural historian Dreck Spurlock Wilson is preparing the first biography of Abele.Gallery
