Original Toronto Star caption: Uncrowned king of Metro's blood donors is Alvin Hinton, a 61-year-old Scarborough office superintendent. He has given about 145 pints in past 35 years. I'm allowed to give blood until I'm 65, so I'm shooting for 160 units, he said. Hinton is seen holding Red Cross certificate he got for giving 100 pints.
