Original Toronto Star caption: Dinner honors the Dennisons. William Dennison, 68, who retired Dec. 31 after six years as mayor of Toronto, and wife, Dorothy, were honored last night at a Ward 7 Businessmen's Association dinner. I think I could have won the last election, Dennison said. But there comes a time in every man's life when he has to hang up the gloves.
