Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: 'There's so much on television that is boring,' says Roy Bonisteel. 'Man Alive makes you stop in your tracks. It tells you 'you have a responsibility'. That's why it has such high ratings.' He's been host of the show for 19 years and says, 'I'm just as excited about the show today as the day I started.'

Only one of his friends has remained in the north. There's nothing there for the younger person. There's no industry. There's nothing. Over half the town is made up of pnsioners. His father is one of them. Sanford's 11 brothers and sisters are scattered across North America, from Texas to British Columbia.
