Wimbledon is ‘next’

EASTBOURNE, England
(AP) — American Martina
Navratilova, in her final

“match before Wimbledon,
scored a crushing 6-1, 6-1
victory Saturday over Aus-
tralian Wendy Turnbull to
retain a $150,000 women's
grass court tennis title.

“Every timeI've won here,

I've gone on to win Wim-
bledon so let's hope it's a
good omen,” the 26-year-old
world’s No. 1 player said.
“That was one of the best
matches I've ever played on
grass.”

Navratilova lost’ only 21
points in the entire match
which lasted 36 minutes.

Navratilova, who missed
only six first serves and vol-
leyed with extraordinary an-
ticipation, won the first prize
of $23,000 with Turnbull
picking up $12,000 as runner-

ip.

“This was the best possible
dress rehearsal for Wimble-
don,” said Navratilova. “Let's
hope nothing goes wrong in
the premiere next week.”

Navratilova, looking fitter,
faster and more confident

to.salvage what he could. His body was never found.

:,As soon as he was discharged, Glendinning was
down at the scene working with the “hard-hat” divers,
the “big-helmet divers.” “And this is really something,
they brought back my sledge hammer. I know it was mine
because. it had my initials on it,” says Glendinning.

Even though his wife “wasn't too enthused”, Colin
. went back to work on the Second Narrows. Bridge work
was in his blood. As strong and agile as any mountain

Colin Glendinning was sent to Vancouver General

-Hospital where he spent a few days in intensive care. An

ear which had torn off was stitched back on. “One of my
lungs was completely black. They had a battery of
doctors who just worked on the injured that day.” ©

While Glendinning lay in a hospital bed, his wife,
Fran, was going through another kind of hell, “The kids
came in that afternoon and asked if they could watch
cartoons,”.she explainod. “I turned on the TV and found
out that the bridge was down. I rushed into town and
kept phoning and phoning the’ hospital. They said that
they couldn't take any calls, they were concentrating all
their efforts on taking care of the injured.

“The things that run through your mind, here I am
with four little kids without a dad.” Four hours later she
finally found out that Colin was alive, but she wasn't
allowed to see him until the following day.

others, and two weeks later he attended the city’s
Memorial Service on crutches to mourn for his friends.
For two or three months Colin was bothered by
nightmares. “I would think of my buddies and then
remember, oh they're not here. They wera personal

now and how do you change it?’ "

he said ioning with his hand, “but you just walked
them.”

. Fran comments, “Sure, it was good money. Steel
work money was as good as you could make. He finished
at $5.10 an hour. That was good wages 25 years ago. But

‘it just wasn’t worth it to me.”

The first day back at the Second Narrows though,

.Colin admitted to being “really uptight”. “I had a few

anxious moments.”
The first thing on tap, of course, was clean-up. That

. second time on Second Narrows Glendinning remembers

that the Ce were there
all the time. “The first time we ever saw them.”

One year later, he again had a near mishap. While
high on the bridge a fellow. worker kicked off a truss

‘which swung around and hit Colin in the ankle. He was

rushed to the hospital once again.

“I was in the same hospital with the same nurse and
the same operating room and the same doctor. And it was
the 24th day of June, and a year before they were putting
a cast on the opposite leg. The Indians said the area was
jinxed. And I think it was. It got me twice.!”

Six hundred and twenty-one days after the disaster,
the bridge was officially opened. And Colin's work with
Dominion Bridge Co. was over.

Colin has worked on many bridges; the Peace River
Bridge, The Granville Bridge and also a lot of steel

’ buildings. He says he would probably be still up on a

bridge somewhere if he hadn't left the Ironworkers Union

Eleven years ago he and Fran and their children,
Colleen, Michael, Patrick and Barry, came to Castlegar
where Colin set up his own building supply company. He
has operated his own construction firm ever since.

Friday was the 25th anniversary of the disaster and
Colin flew to Vancouver to meet the other bridge
survivors. He looks forward to seeing old friends, and
sharing how their lives have changed. But it will also be a
sad time, a time for remembering Joe... and Stan. .
and Don... and the others.
