Back on tho streets of Whltby, three Bell Canada vehicles proceed past the four corners at 7:35 a.m. announcing over an excessively loud public address systemr that Hansen is only three minutes behind. The announcement Is interspersed with the rock recording "Man *in Motion", composed specially ln honor of Hansen's indomîtable determination. Right on schedule, amid the flashing of police"lights and surrounded by cyciists, joggers and nother wheel-chair athiete, Rick Hansen rolled through Whitby- and rolied into the collective memory of those few hundred who came ta share a cold gray morning with yet another of Canada's strange succession of handicap. ped heroes. .Rlck Hansen's World Tour wlll be a hard act to follow. His legacy may not be as great as Terry Fox, but Terry died In the effort and It was the outpouring of grief that arose from his Ililness and death that Imprinted hlm forever ln the hearts of Canadians. But RIck Hansen Is very much alive and very healthy- and that's what the Man in Motion Worid Tour Is al about Only two applications received Not too many people i Whitby took mucb notice of a desdline that came and went Oct. 31.
