This week's Rewind is another version of 'Picture Parade', a lineup of old photos for your viewing and guessing pleasure. Robert Smith has gathered some interesting subjects from the archives. This time around all of the pictures are of drivers in various poses.
Here are this week's pictures; by now everybody probably knows the routine. Feel free to name as many or as few as you like. Have fun.
#1 - Let's start out with a group shot featuring some real good horsemen from yesteryears. Can you name any or all of them?
#2 - This gentleman was well known in the Maritimes and nearby U.S. tracks where he competed for many years. Can you identify him?

#4 - Looks like this fellow is ready for cold weather. Can you name him?
#5 - This man started out his career in his native Ohio and went on to a long and successful career which led to national recognition. Who is he?
#6 - This fellow has a wad of cash in hand as part of a publicity stunt. Can you figure out who he is?

#8 - For many years a top horseman, mainly on the U.S. side, this fellow had a long and successful career. Let us know who you think he is.

Number 1 is left to right as you look at the picture is Del McTavish, Stanley Dancer, Hugh Bell, Billy Haughton and Jimmy Jordan. Number 3 is Gary Campbell. I will admit I didn’t recognize him. Gary had a good horse in the mid 60’s called Noral Gale. I remember Gary as the tattoo man. Gary always was smoking a pipe. Number 4 is Gilles Gendron. Number 6 is Russ Caldwell and the horse he is talking to is Bankroll, a F.F.A. Pacer he had Montreal in the late fifties. Number 7 is Marcel Dostie. Number 8 is Eddie Wheeler, holding on to probably Big John a F.F.A. Trotter he used to drive. Number 9 is Mel Corbett the best come from behind driver ever.
