In this week's Rewind, Robert Smith has a group of pictures related to two different subjects as this month's version of Picture Parade. Earlier this month, two special days were observed and the pictures he has chosen relate to either Valentine's Day (Feb. 14) or Family Day (Feb. 16). The reading audience is asked to identify as many people as you can, or at least provide a last name for the folks in each photo, all of which relate to people or families involved in the sport.
#1 – Can you identify the very young couple as they appeared in this 1977 photo? There is also another familiar face, the gentleman just in the background. Who are these folks?
#2 – Can you identify the family members in this photo? A lovely group indeed. A last name will suffice. This photo is from the '50s.
#3 – Can you identify the couple in this photo?
#4 – Can you identify the family in this photo?
#5 – Can you identify the couple in this older photo? They were involved in many endeavours down through the years.
#6 – Can you identify the Ontario family in this photo? This was taken in the 1960s and the gentleman on the far right passed away a number of years ago.
#7 – Can you identify the couple in this 1980s photo? I believe this one was taken in 1983 and these two had quite a bit to make them smile.
#8 – Can you identify the family in this photo? The man doing the presenting (second from right) is not part of the family. It's Mom and her three sons whom we're looking to identify.
#9 – Can you identify the couple in this photo? At one time, both of them were drivers and also involved in other equine services.
#10 – Can you identify the family in this very old photo? They are from the U.S. (Michigan) and did not race much, or at all, in Canada. This could be a tough one, so I'll give a few clues and hints. That is a father, mother and four sons, and everyone was involved in the sport in some way. If you look real close, "Dad" has the letter "N" on his cuff. That might be a bit of a help.
Good luck — and it looks like quite a few smiles (intended as a cryptic clue).
(The correct answers to the above photos will be posted here by Robert as a comment in a few days.)

BLAST FROM THE PAST
Last week we had harness racing on the Rideau Canal. This week it's hockey, 1901 style.
OLYMPIC HOCKEY MEMORY
Pictured above is Canada's first entrant and eventual winner of the gold medal in Olympic hockey in 1920. The team that represented Canada was the Winnipeg Falcons. Ice hockey was introduced to the Olympic Games in 1920 at the Summer Games in Antwerp.
