Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Flying high: Rodney Nicholson, safety office with the Etobicoke Hang-Gliding Club, takes advantage of light southeast breezes and sunshine to indulge in one of his favorite pastimes at Etobicoke Centennial Park. Not only does hang-gliding make Nicholson soar, but it also gives earthbound mortals a lift, too, as they enjoy the sight of his multi-colored kite.
