Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Love begins at 80 plus; Their romance began three months ago at Metro Legion Village when 82-year-old Snuffy Newton's first words to Ordillia Goodman were: You know; I love you. That opener paid off yesterday when Snuffy and 83-year-old widow wed at old folks' home. It was an extra big step for Snuffy... he'd never married before.
