Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Work as usual: Art Hopkins; who turns 90 today; will be at his usual job of repairing bicycle tires at Hopkins Cycle and Sport; a shop run by his son; Ken. The senior Hopkins; who joined his son's business in 1959; says his second career has kept him alive and active. People who look forward to retirement as a never-ending vacation are mistaken; the nonagenarian says.
