| SHOE TRAGEDY On All Saints� Day 1961, Bonnie Hawkes went to a local store and bought a pair of shoes as a birthday gift for her husband Harry. He was away on business in Toronto but was planning to return to their home in Connecticut that weekend to celebrate his birthday. At home later that day, when Bonnie was wrapping her husband�s present, she discovered that the box contained only one shoe. Thinking she may have dropped its partner, she searched the house and driveway to no avail before deciding to call the shoe shore. She was just about to dial when the phone rang. It was the Canadian authorities with tragic news. This morning her husband had been walking in the downtown area of Toronto when a shoe had fallen from a high window, striking him on the back of the head and killing him. |
