Original Toronto Star caption: Entertainer Don Harron (a.k.a. Charlie Farquharson) and ex-Leaf Eddie Shack, top left, were among those on tap at Maple Leaf Gardens yesterday for the annual Bobby Orr Skate-a-thon for Timmy and Tammy. Orr, right, giving Tammy?Jennifer Thomson?a helping hand, surpassed his $200,000 goal for this year's event with ease. Leaf coach John Brophy also took time out to chew the fat with Toronto great Darryl Sittler, bottom left.
