Original Toronto Star caption: A big blow: Celebrating her 103rd birthday at Grace Hospital yesterday; Margaret Ballantyne - or Birdie as her friends call her - blows out the candles on her cake. She loves hockey; but turned down an invitation to a Toronto Maple Leaf game last year because I was afraid I'd get so excited I'd have a heart attack.
