Original Toronto Star caption: It's a nine-year miss; for age-guesser Barry Vigon as 105-year-old Caroline Pierce smiles mischievously at the CNE Midway yesterday. She's been his oldest subject since he started in guessing game 17 year ago. He wrote down 96. Mrs. Pierce spent day seeing everything new at Ex. I like to keep up with the times; and I don't mind trying anything; said Minden resident.
