KENDALLVILLE – U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor loves windmills. And that love, which comes from her childhood in the semi-arid border region of New Mexico and Arizona, brought her and her brother to the Mid-America Windmill Museum’s annual Windmill Festival for the dedication of an 18-foot Samson-replica windmill.Posted by Marcia Oddi at June 27, 2004 01:50 PMDedicated in honor of O’Connor and her brother, H. Alan Day, the windmill is a replica of windmills that pumped water on the Lazy B Ranch where they grew up. The windmill was obtained from Terrell County, Texas, where it had been operating a well more than 640 feet deep, according to museum officials.
