Air Canada skipper moonlighted as chief pilot of warplane museum
Peter Gutowski was a pilot all his adult life. He flew everything from a Boeing 747 jumbo jet to a Corsair, a powerful single-engine fighter from the Second World War. Although too young to have flown against the Axis, he performed in hundreds of air shows as chief pilot for the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton.
EDDY ARNOLD: SINGER
Eddy Arnold's mellow baritone made him one of the most successful country singers in history. His vocals on songs such as 1965's Make the World Go Away, one of his many No. 1 country hits and a top-10 hit on the pop charts, were folksy yet sophisticated, and he became a pioneer of the ''Nashville sound,'' a mixture of country and pop styles. His crossover success paved the way for later singers such as Kenny Rogers.
