Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Looking back on 29 years: Marilyn Bell casts a reflective look over Lake Ontario, the water mass she conquered in 1954, when as a 16-year-old waif she became the first person to swim across the lake. At dusk that evening (inset), she was pulled, hungry and exhausted, ashore by Joan Cooke, left, and The Star's George Bryant. Today is the anniversary of the famous event.
