Delaney Strouse | 75,685,071 | Career | The Strouse rink found major success during the 2022–23 season, beginning at the US Open of Curling where they had an undefeated run until the final where they were defeated by Ha Seung-youn. They also qualified for the playoffs in their next event, the 2022 Stu Sells Toronto Tankard, before falling in the quarterfinals to Lauren Mann. The team next played in the playdowns for the 2023 Winter World University Games where they won all four of their games to win the event. Back on tour, they had four more playoff appearances, reaching three quarterfinals and one semifinal at the Curling Stadium Contender Series. In the new year, the team represented the U.S. on home soil at the 2023 Winter World University Games in Saranac Lake, New York. The team was dominant through the round robin, with Strouse leading her team of Anne O'Hara, Sydney Mullaney, Rebecca Rodgers and Susan Dudt to an 8–1 record, finishing just behind Korea's Ha Seung-youn who was their sole loss. In the semifinals, they met China's Han Yu where they suffered a narrow 6–5 loss. They would claim the bronze medal after a 7–3 win against Great Britain's Fay Henderson. Continuing their momentum from the season, Team Strouse finished 6–1 through the round robin at the 2023 United States Women's Curling Championship. In the 1 vs. 2 game, they faced the top ranked Tabitha Peterson rink where they gave up four in the tenth end to lose 11–10. They rebounded by beating Sarah Anderson 9–4 in the semifinal. They could not take revenge on Peterson in the final, however, dropping the game 8–5 and settling for the silver medal. Strouse and Casper finished the season at the 2023 United States Mixed Doubles Curling Championship where they lost in a tiebreaker to Taylor Anderson and Ben Richardson. |

Frank Ledger | 75,685,209 | Sir Joseph Francis Ledger (29 October 1899 – 8 April 1993), widely known as Frank Ledger, was an Western Australian businessman and philanthropist. Knighted in 1963, he supported agricultural development, advocated for sports, and his legacy includes the Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust. |
|
Frank Ledger | 75,685,209 | Early life | Ledger was born on 29 October 1899, in East Perth, Western Australia. He was the third of nine children born to Edson Ledger and Annie Francis née Sumner. At age fourteen, he started an apprenticeship with his father and uncle's engineering firm J. and E. Ledger, during which he gained diverse skills in general engineering, blacksmithing, and founding. |
Frank Ledger | 75,685,209 | Early life | Ledger enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force on 4 May 1918, during World War I. The war concluded while he was still training in Victoria, and Ledger was discharged on 24 December. He worked in various engineering fields, including motor vehicles, whilst also attending night classes at Perth Technical School. In 1923, he married Gladys Muriel Lyons. |
Frank Ledger | 75,685,209 | Family business | After the death of his father in 1924, Ledger took on more responsibilities in the family business. The firm was officially incorporated as a company in September, marking the beginning of Ledger's long tenure at the helm. In response to the economic challenges of the Great Depression, Ledger expanded the business activities to include brickmaking, pottery, and manufacturing print machinery. He also expanded the businesses' premises, acquired additional land, and developed the sales side of the business. Ledger's leadership continued until 1965 when the company was sold to Mitchell Cotts, a British firm. |
Frank Ledger | 75,685,209 | Industrial development | During his career, Ledger played a pivotal role in the industrial landscape of Western Australia. Notably, he was the instigator and inaugural president of the Institute of Foundrymen in 1943, aimed at raising standards and promoting metallurgical advancements. His involvement extended to various associations, including the Metropolitan Ironmaster’s Association, the West Australian Chamber of Manufactures, and the Western Australian Employers Federation. Ledger's commitment to industrial development for economic growth led him to support future Premier Charles Court's entry into politics. His dedication to fostering economic growth extended beyond industry to agricultural development, notably the Ord River Scheme and initiatives near Esperance. Ledger was knighted during the 1963 royal visit in recognition for his contributions to industry. |

Ledger oversaw the redevelopment of Gloucester Park, including the building of grandstands and modernisation of public amenities. |
Frank Ledger | 75,685,209 | Later life and legacy | In his later years, Ledger faced financial challenges, and the management of his estate became a subject of controversy. As his health worsened, His grandson Kim took over, eventually repurchasing the family company, which was renamed Ledger Engineering. However, by 1993 the company was in receivership, and Ledger died on 8 April 1993 with his estate in debt. |
Frank Ledger | 75,685,209 | Later life and legacy | Ledger's legacy endures through the Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust, established in 1971 to providing financial support for young people, and a scholarship at the University of Western Australia Business School bears his name.

Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | History | Samuel Schellinger comes from a long line of woodworking craftsmen in East Hampton. For generations, his ancestors had created pieces of furniture and worked on various woodworking projects. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | History | Samuel's father Jonathan (1763-1829), was a carpenter and furniture-maker. Further back in the family tree, William Schellinx (spelled with a Dutch touch), a early relative of Samuel's constructed and furnished the East Hampton town prison back in 1698. Samuel had 6 siblings born to Elizabeth Schellinger (born Stratton): Elizabeth Schellenger, Alben Derby Schellenger, Jacob Schellinger; Phebe Schellinger; Jonathan Schellinger; Hannah Conklin; and 1 other Half brother, Sylvester Schellinger, born of Hannah Schellinger, his step-mother. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | History | Samuel married Alba (Betsey Darby) in 1795, at age 29. Alba was born in 1774, in Amagansett, New York. They had 5 children: Elisheba Schellinger, Mercy Baker (born Schellinger), Hannah Waters Cartwright, Mary Ann Miller and Alben Derby Schellenger. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | History | Schellinger established a business in East Hampton, seeking large construction projects, such as windmills, houses, and barns. He travelled widely for large projects like windmills both on the North and South Forks of Long Island and also Nantucket, Block Island and Brooklyn, NY. A boatwright, he also worked at Sag Harbor in the early days of whaling. In addition to his involvement in large construction projects, Schellinger also dedicated a portion of his time to the creation of furniture, small wooden objects, and tools. A sizable business, he had a crew of assistant carpenters and was well regarded. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Golden age of Smock mills | Beginning in 1795, new windmills were built with their gears enclosed inside six or eight-sided tapering wood-shingled walls in the shape of farmer’s petticoats, or “smocks.” They became known as Smock Windmills. The year 1795 also coincided with the end of the American Revolution, and people, for whatever it was worth, began to think more about using new technologies, particularly European technologies. Windmills, with their sails, shafts, gears and two spinning stone platters inside, suddenly took hold, used for grinding by manipulating the stones with levers so corn or grain could be crushed between the stones. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Golden age of Smock mills | Interestingly, even with their “smocks,” eastern Long Island windmills were never considered buildings. They were considered farm equipment, and they could be bought and sold and moved from place to place. Many windmills have histories of having been in four or five different places before they came to where they are today. The timbers that run along the base of the windmills rest merely on large boulders, not on foundations. The mills could be easily moved around. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Golden age of Smock mills | It was also discovered by a local clock maker named Nathanial Dominy that the windmill cap could be turned so the blades could face the changing location of arriving wind not just by using a long “tail pole” with a wheel at the end—which could move along the ground as people pushed it, dragging the cap way up at the top along—but by the operation of new gears inside. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Golden age of Smock mills | The technology of cast-iron gears was already in use in English smock mills and Schellinger bought the gears he used on Beebe’s mill in New York City. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Pantigo | The Pantigo Mill was built by Samuel Schellinger for Huntting Miller in 1804 at the end of Mill Hill Lane. His assistants were David Sherril, James, Richard and Mathew Raynor. Months later, Nathaniel Dominy started work on the nearby Gardiner Mill, for an ownership group of seven or eight people, just across the green (the Gardiner Mill has never moved from its original location). |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Pantigo | The mill was built in 1804 on Hunting Miller’s farm in East Hampton. Moved in 1850 to Egypt’s Lane, it was moved once again in 1917 to Mulford Farm across from Town Pond in East Hampton. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Pantigo | The Pantigo Mill was eventually moved to where the Verizon Building sits, and then again. It was disabled by a storm in 1879 and bought by the Buek family, who moved it to its final location, behind Home, Sweet Home, AKA the Mulford Farm. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Pantigo | According to his apprentice, William Baker, Schellinger built windmills at Brooklyn and Block Island, also in New York; and Nantucket, Massachusetts. He also did considerable work on boats at Sag Harbor. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Amagansett | The 1814 construction details of the windmill at Amagansett by Schellinger is unclear as to whether it had a tailpole to turn the cap. Later photographs show a fantail in place. A gasoline engine used to pump water set the mill ablaze and it burnt down in 1924. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Beebe | Samuel Schellinger played a role in bringing innovations from England to eastern Long Island. In 1820, he constructed a groundbreaking windmill for Captain Lester Beebe in Sag Harbor. This windmill, the first of its kind, incorporated several revolutionary features. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Beebe | Most notable was the addition of a fantail, a mechanism that automatically adjusted the position of the mill's sails to face the wind. This ingenious design ensured optimal wind capture, maximizing the mill's efficiency and productivity. Additionally, Schellinger implemented centrifugal governors, which helped regulate the speed of the millstones. These governors maintained a consistent grinding speed, resulting in finer and more consistent flour production. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Beebe | Another feature of the Beebe Windmill was the use of cast-iron bevel gearing. This type of gearing, known for its durability and precision, significantly improved the mill's overall performance. By incorporating this advanced technology, Schellinger elevated the efficiency and reliability of the windmill. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Beebe | Schellinger embarked on the construction of Captain Lester Beebe's windmill on September 5, 1820, and diligently worked for 119 days until its completion in January. Throughout this project, Schellinger was supported by two apprentices, namely William Baker and Carl, who assisted him in various aspects of the construction process. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Beebe | Additionally, another skilled carpenter, Pardon T. Tabor (1779-1842), played a significant role in the building of the windmill. Tabor's involvement is evident as he charged Lester Beebe for 89 days of "work on Mill," beginning on the same day as Schellinger, September 5, 1820. Tabor's expertise extended beyond windmill construction, as he was known for his craftsmanship in furniture-making, shipbuilding, and overseeing large-scale construction projects in Sag Harbor. |
Samuel Schellinger | 75,685,217 | Beebe | Although the construction of wind-powered gristmills declined in the region after 1820, the innovations introduced in the Beebe Windmill had a lasting impact.
