Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Remembering swim: Marilyn Bell, the first person to swim Lake Ontario, talks with veteran Charlie Browning, who sported a Churchill-style cigar during her visit to the Veterans Wing at Sunnybrook Medical Centre yesterday. Browning recalled the swim in 1954: I was waiting for her when she touched shore near the CNE. I shock her hand.
