The Delaware Commission for Women inducted four Delaware women into its Hall of Fame, including historian Pauline A. Young, posthumously honoring Vera Gilbride Davis, Mabel Lloyd Fisher Ridgely, and Emalea Pusey Warner. Lt. Gov. Michael N. Castle presided over the ceremony at Delaware State College in Dover. Young expressed her gratitude for the honor. Davis, an accomplished politician, achieved several historic milestones in Delaware politics. Ridgely played a significant role in preserving the Old State House on the Green, and Warner contributed to education and worked for a family court in New Castle County.
