## Career

Following the end of the American Civil War, Chidsey pursued a career in rail and heavy industry, working as a clerk in the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, as secretary of the Warren Foundry and Machine Company, and finally as president of the Eastern Railroad Company.
His first political involvement was as president of the Easton School Board, an office he would hold from 1876 through 1877.

He transformed the former Borough's police, fire and electric light departments to enhance their performance and better serve the people of Easton. The department to get the largest reform would be the police which was entirely remodeled and given uniforms. He was mayor during the Great Blizzard of 1888 which saw Easton cut off from the outside world. Additionally his mayorship was engaged in a heated legal debate with the descendants of William Penn over the ownership of the old court house at Centre Circle, with the city prevailing.
He constructed a memorial arch to the memory of Governor George Wolf and sought to turn Easton into a manufacturing hub by giving loans with minimal interest to industrial firms. He did not seek a second term with his term expiring in 1890.

According to the words from the ABS-CBN Film Restoration group, it was restored in 2K resolution and took 30 hours to eliminate the image impairments (namely scratches, specks, warps, and unstable images) digitally as well as color adjustments in order to make the restored film similar to the achieved brightness and contrast of the original print. According to ABS-CBN Film Restoration head Leonardo P. Katigbak, it was one of their best scans and restorations they ever did, owing to the better quality of the original print used for the restoration.
The 4K restored version was first premiered on September 6, 2020, through ABS-CBN's cable movie channel, Cinema One. For online users, it premiered on January 8, 2021, through live streaming on ABS-CBN Film Restoration's Facebook page. Unlike the previous live streams of some restored LVN films, it was made available to audiences outside the Philippines.

# Roger Powell (bookbinder)

Roger Powell OBE (17 May 1896 – 16 October 1990) was an English bookbinder.
Powell was born in London. He was educated at Bedales School, of which his father was co-founder. He served as a signals officer in the Royal Flying Corps in World War I and then became a poultry farmer. In 1930 he began training as a bookbinder at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. After he completed the course he opened his own bindery, then became a partner with Sandy Cockerell in the major bindery of Cockerell & Son in Letchworth, Hertfordshire. He also taught part-time at the Central School until 1943, when he moved to the Royal College of Art, where he taught until his retirement in 1956. There he was succeeded by his best pupil Peter Waters.
Powell left Cockerell & Son in 1947 and again set up his own bindery in Froxfield, Hampshire. Here he did some of his most notable work, including the rebinding of the Book of Kells and Book of Durrow in 1953, the Lichfield Gospels in 1962, and work on many other important historical manuscripts. He studied, but did not alter, the oldest European leather binding to survive, that of the Stonyhurst or St Cuthbert Gospel, and his two chapters on the binding in books edited by Battiscombe (1956) and Brown (1969) remain the most important literature on the subject. He and Peter Waters became partners in the Froxfield firm, working together until Waters emigrated to the United States in 1971. Aided by the design talents of Peter's wife, calligrapher Sheila Waters, this partnership produced some of the most masterful and acclaimed collector designer bindings of the mid-20th century. They worked on the conservation of the many books and manuscripts damaged in the Florence flood of 1966. Powell was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1976. He was a member of the Red Rose Guild.
Fellow binder and collector Bernard Middleton described Powell as "one of the most important and influential bookbinders of the last hundred years and, arguably, of any period". In his monograph on the Book of Durrow, Bernard Meehan, Keeper of Manuscripts at Trinity College Dublin, described Powell as "the leading bookbinder of his day".

After several years of being unable to claim a regular place in Richmond's team, Moore was tried at full-forward in 1969 and achieved his career highlight by scoring 2 goals and playing a key role in Richmond's grand final victory by 25 points over Carlton.
After retiring from VFL football at the end of the 1973 season, Moore played in the VFA between 1974 and 1976 with both Oakleigh and Caulfield. Chronic hamstring injuries forced his retirement at the end of the 1976 season at 28 years of age.
In 1982 Moore was appointed coach of VFA club Box Hill. Box Hill had won only 18 games in the 9 seasons from 1973 to 1981, but Moore immediately lifted Box Hill to 5th place (10 wins) in 1982 and again to 5th place (11½ wins) in 1983 before Box Hill claimed its first ever VFA premiership in 1984 (its 34th season in the VFA), overwhelming Moore's former club Oakleigh in the grand final 32.23(215) to 11.14(80). Moore's final season coaching Box Hill was in 1985, the club's first season in the VFA first division since 1960.

# Donna Jordan

Donna Jordan (born 1950) is an American model and actress. Dubbed the "Disco Marilyn," she is best known as a Warhol superstar. Jordan was also one of "Antonio’s Girls," a muse of fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez, and a muse of fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.

## Life and career

Donna Jordan was working as a sales girl in New York when she was discovered at a park by fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez. She had "buck teeth and mousey brown hair," he recalled. Her signature look was created by makeup artist Corey Tippin, who bleached her hair platinum blonde, shaved her eyebrows, and applied bold makeup, which was then dramatized by Lopez in his illustrations. "Antonio had his eye on Donna and we transformed her," said Tippin.
In 1970, Jordan joined artist Andy Warhol's milieu at the Factory and became a visible personality in his entourage. Jordan co-starred with her friend, Warhol superstar Jane Forth, in the film L'Amour (1972). Filming took place in Paris in the fall of 1970, and Jordan stayed there once it was over. While in Paris, Warhol and his crew befriended fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. Jordan became Lagerfeld's favorite model, wearing the designs he made for Chloé. In the spring of 1971, Jordan accompanied Warhol to Hollywood and was interviewed by Regis Philbin on Tempo, Los Angeles Channel 9.
Jordan was an in-demand Wilhelmina model, much desired for her vintage style and electric personality. She posed for renowned photographers such as Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, and Oliviero Toscani. Dubbed the "Disco Marilyn," she appeared on the front covers of Vogue Italia and Vogue Paris. Her favorite moniker, "Queen of Kitsch," was mirrored in the eccentric outfits she assembled. Yves Saint Laurent's Spring 1971 collection was reported to have been inspired in part by Jordan's 1940s fashion. "She is The Courageous Fashionable," declared fashion designer Halston.
By 1974, Jordan had relocated to Milan, where she owned a boutique and modeled. She appeared in a controversial but lucrative advertisement campaign for Jesus Jeans. The first billboard featured Jordan in front, from the waist to her thighs, with her pants' zipper open. "Though shalt have no other jeans but me" was the slogan. The second billboard with the slogan "Whoever loves me, follows me," showed Jordan from the backside in high-waisted shorts that were cut by her then-boyfriend, photographer Oliviero Toscani. She later worked as an editor of Glamour magazine's Italian edition.
In 2010, Jordan and her daughter Kate Ballo modeled resort 2011 looks for Organic by John Patrick. In 2018, Jordan was reunited with model Pat Cleveland to celebrate fashion designer Kenzo Takada. Jordan was chosen as one of the 100 celebrated women to cover the September 2020 issue of Vogue Italia.
