Remembering A Former World Champion
















They say no good deed goes un-recognized and that certainly holds true in this story.


Local artist Norm Jackson will unveil and present his latest work, a portrait of former world speed skating champion Charles Gorman to Irving Oil officials next week.
This after the company put forward the cash for a headstone at his un-marked grave.
Jackson tells CHSJ News, it wasn't easy trying to capture the true essence of the man from photographs but is pleased with the final result.
The dedication of Gorman's gravestone will happen on July.6th at the Old Cedar Hill Cemetery on Lancaster Avenue just after noon.
