John McDonald (ice hockey): John Albert "Jack" McDonald (November 24, 1921 in Swan River, Manitoba – March 13, 1990) was a professional ice hockey player who played 43 games in the National Hockey League with the New York Rangers.  John McDonald was born November 24, 1921 in Swan River, Manitoba.  Nicknamed Jack, a common practice of the era, McDonald was a big 6'1" 215 lbs, high-scoring left winger when he captained the Portage Terriers during the 1939-40 and 1941-42 season that won the Memorial Cup.  The 1942-43 season was spent with the Flin Flon Bombers of the Saskatchewan Senior Hockey League.  Jack McDonald was one of several wartime additions, joining New York Rangers for the 1943-44 season.  Playing in 43 NHL games, McDonald scored a respectable 10 goals, adding 9 assists.

His last stop was at the Burnaby Winter Club where he and Shibicky reunited some 30 years later and coached many players that went on to NHL careers.

Macbeth: Macbeth ( ; full title The Tragedy of Macbeth) is a tragedy by William Shakespeare; it is thought to have been first performed in 1606.  It dramatises the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake.  Of all the plays that Shakespeare wrote during the reign of James I, who was patron of Shakespeare's acting company, "Macbeth" most clearly reflects the playwright's relationship with his sovereign.  It was first published in the Folio of 1623, possibly from a prompt book, and is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy.

Monarchy in the Irish Free State: From its foundation on 6 December 1922 until 11 December 1936, the Irish Free State was in accordance with its constitution, governed formally under a form of constitutional monarchy.  The monarch exercised a number of important duties, including appointing the cabinet, dissolving the legislature and promulgating laws.  Nonetheless, by convention the monarch's role was largely ceremonial and exercised on his behalf by his official representative, the governor-general.  The monarch's role and duties under the constitution were ended under a constitutional amendment adopted in 1936.  From that point, the monarch no longer played any role in appointing the cabinet, dissolving the legislature or promulgating laws.  Nor was the monarch mentioned anywhere in the constitution.  Under separate legislation also adopted in 1936 it was provided that Irish diplomatic representatives would be appointed on the authority of the cabinet alone and international agreements would be concluded with the authority of the cabinet alone.  At the same time, that legislation also created a new role for the king in his capacity as the "symbol of [the] co-operation" of Australia, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand, and South Africa for so long as the Irish Free State was associated with those states.  The new role of the king in that capacity alone was to act on behalf of the Irish government with respect to the appointment of diplomatic and consular representatives and the conclusion of international agreements when advised by the cabinet so to do.  The role of the king in acting on behalf of the Irish government with respect to appointing diplomats was not ended until 1949 and under United Kingdom law the king is regarded as having been the sovereign until that time but not under Irish law.

The Golden Rump: The Golden Rump is a farcical play of unknown authorship said to have been written in 1737.  It acted as the chief trigger for the Theatrical Licensing Act of 1737.  The play has never been performed on stage or published in print.  No manuscript of the play survives, casting some doubt over whether it ever existed in full at all.  The authorship of the play has often been ascribed to Henry Fielding, at that time a popular and prolific playwright who often turned his incisive satire against the monarch George II and particularly the "prime minister" Sir Robert Walpole.  Modern literary historians, however, increasingly embrace the opinion that "The Golden Rump" may have been secretly commissioned by Walpole himself in a successful bid to get his Bill for theatrical licensing passed before the legislature.

Midwest Pen Pals: Midwest Pen Pals were an American Midwest emo band from South Bend, Indiana.

They had a few different bassists, rotating based on availability, as Midwest Pen Pals was formed and recorded as a 3 piece (singer, drummer, and guitarist).

They played two reunion shows in 2010 and one final show in 2011, the first show of 2010 in Grand Rapids, MI at the house venue Turtle Den, and the second in South Bend, IN at the house venue Cabana House.  The 2011 show was in downtown South Bend, IN at Generic, a now closed thrift store.

James Lennox Kerr: James Lennox Kerr (1 July 1899 – 11 March 1963) was a Scottish socialist author noted for his children's stories written under the pseudonym of "Peter Dawlish".  He lived in Paisley until 1915, joined the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve by claiming to be 18, then served on merchant ships until 1929.  After spending some time in Australia and America (his first book, for adults, "Back Door Guest", described life as a hobo in USA and Canada, and is full of social comment which was then controversial) he settled in Pimlico in 1930, marrying Elizabeth "Mornie" Birch of Penwith, Cornwall (daughter of John "Lamorna" Birch the RA painter) in 1932.  These details are in his autobiography (Kerr 1940).  He wrote 32 books for children, most with a nautical theme and 23 books for adults, many commenting on working class life in Scotland, America and Australia.  He served on minesweepers in World War II, assisted at Omaha beach, and was Mentioned In Despatches.  As an author he used, in addition to his own name, the pseudonyms "Douglas Gavin" for adult books and "Peter Dawlish" for children's books after 1938 (Bigger, 2007).
