“She” was the presiding judge, Superior Court Judge Charlotte Woolard.

The most recent aboriginal group to arrive in Newfoundland and Labrador was the Thule people who migrated across the northern part of North America from the Bering Strait about 1,000 years ago. The descendants of the Thule are today’s Inuit.
The Dominion of Canada and the Dominion of Newfoundland had an ongoing border dispute about the boundary between Labrador and Quebec. The source of the dispute was that the boundary description referred to the “coasts of Labrador”. Canada argued that meant Labrador was only a strip along the coast, while Newfoundland argued it meant the watershed divide, which was located some hundreds of miles inland.
The dispute went to arbitration at the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the highest court in the Empire. In 1927, the Committee ruled in favour of Labrador.
Quebec has not yet accepted the decision.
The Labrador Retriever is actually from Newfoundland, where it was known as the St. John’s Water Dog. The breed was refined in England, by the first and second Earls of Malmesbury, who bred for duck shooting on his estate, and the 5th and 6th Dukes of Buccleuch, and youngest son Lord George William Montagu-Douglas-Scott.
Two Earls played significant roles in Canada’s constitutional development: in 1838 the Earl of Durham proposed that responsible government be implemented in the British North American colonies, and the Earl of Elgin actually did so in1848.
Elgin’s decision resulted in a riot in Montreal, with the angry mob burning down the Parliament building.
NBA legends Vernon Earl Monroe (Earl “the Pearl” Monroe) and Elgin Gay Baylor have both been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Baylor was inducted in 1977, and Monroe, finally, 10 years after his career ended, and controversially, in 1990.
Monroe’s induction was controversial because he was not voted in. Not initially, at least. At the voting, neither Monroe, nor Dave Bing or Elgin Hayes, very good players with distinguished careers, nor the 13 other eligible candidates received the necessary votes. It appeared there would be no inductees in 1990. That presented a bit of a problem for the Hall of Fame: no inductees likely meant very few fans would show up for the celebratory events usually surrounding an induction.
But, although there was no provision in the bylaws, the Hall of Fame executive committee voted, 9-3, to create a second ballot with the names of the nine top vote-getters. Legendary Celtics guard Bob Cousy, a HOF’er himself, was president of the Hall of Fame at the time and did not like the committee changing its rules midstream.
When Monroe, Bing and Hayes all received the votes required for induction, Cousy resigned as president. (The Knicks beat the Celtics thst day.)

Thanks for the clarifications, Bullitt.
Chandler Muriel Bing was played by Matthew Perry in all ten seasons of the NBC sitcom Friends. His mother was played by Morgan Fairchild and his father by Kathleen Turner.
Jon Lovitz’ SNL character The Pathological Liar claimed his wife was “Morgan Fairchild. Whom I have slept with. I have seen her naked more than once. Yeahhh, that’s the ticket!”
Morgan Earp, brother of Wyatt Earp, was assassinated on March 18, 1882, about 5 months after the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
Wyatt and Morgan Earp are both buried in California. Wyatt is in Colma, just south of San Francisco, and Morgan is 450 miles to the south in Colton, east of Los Angeles.
ETA: Another brother, Virgil, is buried in Portland OR, 650 miles to the north of Wyatt in Colma.
Missed the edit window for these:
ETA2:
Yet another brother, James, is buried in San Bernardino CA, 3 miles from Morgan.
The last of the Earp brothers, Warren, is buried in Willcox AZ, 550 miles to the east of Morgan and James.
Earl Warren had been a district attorney, the attorney general and governor of California, as well as Thomas Dewey’s 1948 running mate, before President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed him Chief Justice of the United States.
Eisenhower later said that the appointment of Earl Warren was “the biggest damned-fool mistake I ever made.”
Others may disagree. 
Eisenhower was the first President to preside over fifty states. Alaska and Hawaii were added to the Union during his presidency. And, the presidential retreat founded in 1942 by the National Park Service near Washington, DC was originally named Shangri-la by FDR. Eisenhower renamed the retreat “Camp David” after his grandson. It still has that name today.
Roald Dahl’s second story “The Gremlins” was bought by Disney Studios with the idea of turning it into a movie. They issued a children’s picture book based on the story, but the movie never got made. However, Eleanor Roosevelt loved the book and read it to her grandchildren. So the Roosevelts invited Dahl to the White House, and he and FDR had friendship until the latter’s death. Dahl used to spend weekends at Shangri-La.
The logo of the WASP’s, Women Airforce Service Pilots, was a Disney cartoon of Fifinella, the female gremlin pilot who would have appeared in the film. The US did not consider them military personnel and did not grant them veteran status until 1977, despite their contributions and casualties.
Thurgood Marshall, the future Supreme Court justice, got his start defending Tuskegee bomber trainees. The 477th Bombardment Group was formed in 1944 to extend the so-called “Tuskegee experiment” by allowing black aviators to serve on bomber crews. While in Indiana, some of the African-American officers were arrested and charged with mutiny after entering an all-white officers’ club. Marshall, then a young lawyer, represented the 100 black officers who had landed in jail as a result of the confrontation. The men were soon released (although one was later convicted of violent conduct and fined).

According to Woodward and Armstrong’s excellent behind-the-scenes-at-SCOTUS book The Brethren, Thurgood Marshall was occasionally mistaken by tourists at the Supreme Court for an elevator attendant. He would good-naturedly push the buttons they asked for, and not tell them who he really was.
If you have never read John Cheever’s short story Christmas Is A Sad Season For The Poor, please do so. This 1949 tale of a Negro elevator operator’s Christmas is my absolute favorite Xmas tale.
