Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Contractor recovers from bizarre accident. Donald Wright points to the spot where a drill bit entered his skull when he fell off a step-ladder about six weeks ago (inset). Doctors were amazed at his quick recovery after only eight days in hospital. But hair is growing back and will soon cover the scar completely.
