Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Artist captures artistry on ice. Artist Ken Danby, left, shows Canadian skaters Barbara Underhill and Paul Martini his painting of them as part of the Sarejevo Olympic Series. There are 15 pictures in the series, which was unvelled yesterday. While the Canadian skaters were a disappointing seventh at the Olympics, they came back to win the world pairs championship in Ottawa last weekend.
