"Fading history" covers a wide range of stories. There are chapters on great football players, golfers, as well as on the once world-renowned 400-bed Workmen's Compensation Hospital; a 2000-seat Broadway music theatre under a tent at Dixie Plaza; the history of AVRO and the Arrow, CF100 and C102, the AVROCAR (flying saucer), and the manufacturer of the Lancaster bomber. There's a look at the Grand Duchess of Russia's life in Canada, including the years she lived on Camilla Road in Cooksville. The Kennedy kids is a chapter looking at the political life of one of Ontario's most prominent families, the Kennedy clan from Dixie (now modern day Mississauga). Other chapters present the history of the Lakeview Golf Course; a nostalgic story about Bullet-Nosed Betty, Canada's last great steam train; and a look at the top secret trip taken by Franklin D. Roosevelt during WWII...
