Robyn Irving (with her mom) opens one of her many birthday presents.
As this picture of
David Neto
attests, it must be the 90's.
Wayne Hayes checks for items that were stolen from his office.
Arthur Tateishi is probably talking about something that no one cares about,
since Wayne is enjoying his complementary appetizer, and Dennis Hui is
completely confused at what's going on.
So long, Spadina bus! Route 77 of the
TTC on
the night before the streetcars take over. At the intersection of Spadina
and Harbord.
After five years of construction at a cost of $105 million, TTC streetcar
4168 exits the Spadina portal.
One of the few surprises at the opening ceremony is car 327, a restored
trolley car which was on display
at Sussex and Spadina. Originally operated by the Toronto Railways
Company (before it became the TTC in 1921), it had served the Belt Line
route, which went around the city on Spadina, Bloor, Sherbourne, and Front.
The remaining Peter Witt car in the TTC fleet, car 2766, struts its stuff
at the official Spadina streetcar line opening (or should I say, re-opening).
PCC car 4500 is right behind it.
Passengers board a streetcar at Spadina Station.
Here's the picture on the front page of the July 28 Toronto Star by
Tony Bock.
Unbelievably, I'm in the picture, but the resolution is too poor for
you to see me.

Canadian Airlines
Boeing 737-275 Advanced. The workhorse of the Canadian
fleet.
United Airlines
Boeing 777-222 (N777UA). This is UA's first 777 and
Boeing's
first ever 777 in commerical service, which
was delivered in Vancouver to the airline in order to exploit a tax
loophole. United now has at least 12 triple-sevens in their fleet. The
engines are Pratt & Whitney PW4077s. They're huge!
Korean Air Boeing 747-3B5 (HL7479) along with the United 777.
Boeing 727 in old United colours, being restored at Everett.
A BOAC Comet 4C also being restored. Truly a pioneer of commercial
aviation, the Comet was the first ever jet with a pressurized
cabin, but it was quickly grounded due to huge structural stress
near the windows caused by fluctuations in cabin pressure upon
takeoff and landing.
Naoki Sato
and Eric Lai "cruise" down Mont Royal, Montreal. Aaugh!!
From left to right: Eric, Naoki, Cathy Nangini, Cherie D'Mello,
Adriana Dawes, and Anita Heung. Naoki appears to enjoy his escargots, and
Adriana is showing the effects of her beer.
As Eric can tell you, oral hygeine is the first step to studliness.
Adriana, Eric, Anita, and Cherie wait for a cafeteria to open.

tree during the 1994 Mathematics Christmas Party. Remember that whenever
you see them, you must bow at their presence.

Gates. (May 1995)
The world is definitely a better place with Adriana. Maybe
Letterman will have her on, anyway.
