007.
From what I've read recently, Mr. Peter Worthington had a sweatshirt with that number on it,
and as a member of the first Canadian News Bureau in Moscow, he played hockey,

He recalled that they tried to body-check him more, because he wore 007.

A Soldier, and later an Officer; a Leader of Men, a Journalist, a Husband, a Father.
Whether you shared his views or not, he was irrepressible.
Here are a few recollections, and shared glories, by some who have known, or at least met him:
