Athlete of the Year, Bobby Orr, autograph his program at the annual Sport Celebrities Dinner at
Toronto's Royal York hotel. Three years ago, Denis lost both legs in a train accident. Today,
despite two artificial legs, he is still a keen skater and last year played as an Atom in the
Timmins Moose Team. As a fine example of what your Easter Seal dollars can do, Denis has
been chosen to represent Canada's crippled children during the campaign which runs from March
11 to April 11. Denis, whose favourite subject is mathematics, is a Grade VII student at St.
Gerrard School in Timmins and he hopes one day to become a teacher. Apart from Hockey and
