Answer to the Thursday quiz – Malcolm Smith – who was born on Salt Spring Island BC – Malcolm is seen modeling the mirror peak that he used in the Elsnore Grand Prix -made popular in the movie “On Any Sunday” – lots of people bought them for Cross Country racing, only to find they didn’t work at all – Yes I was one. – Harlow was first in but soon followed by Brett and David Brooks – Neil Carter and others.
