Original Toronto Star caption: One day at a time; Arthur O'Dell; who celebrates his 99th birthday tomorrow; makes a habit of a daily walk along his North York street. The active senior maintains his own home; takes care of his garden and cooks for himself. Although he's looking forward to his 100th birthday; O'Dell still takes life one day at a time.
