Eyes... right! Not lacking for admirers, Fred Lewis, 55, is all spit and polish in World War I cavalry sergeant's uniform as he marches on Saturday in the Royal Canadian Legion's walkathon to raise $25,000 for the Metro Toronto Legion Lodge. Lewis, who retired in 1971 after 33 years in the army, acquired the uniform during his travels and wore it to publicize Legion's 50th anniversary. Claire (left) and Lori McMahon were comrades-in-arms.
