Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Beaming father; Germain Gagnon; 30; scrubbed up and donned a sterilized gown yesterday for his first close-up visit with his two new sons and two new daughters. He watches while head nurse Margaret Riddell checks over baby in an incubator at St. Michael's Hospital. Gagnon has slept only six hours since quadruplets were born Sunday. Sure; I'm tired; but I'm suddenly a father of four kids - and that is greater than winning the Olympic lottery; he said.
