Album of photographs of the night in 1979 that the Jimmy Fund honored Bobby Orr. Cover has printed: "A Salute To Bobby Orr". Nice (8.5x9") album has 15 two-sided pages holding thirty 5x7" real photos taken at the presentation by long-time Red Sox photographer Jerry Buckley. Includes: Hawk Harrelson, lots of Orr, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, Gerry Cheevers, young Dennis Eckersly, John Havlicek, all the Bruins, Rico Petrocelli, Luis Tiant. One of the photos is of Orr holding the "Flying Through the Air" plaque that was presented to him. That was the photo by Boston photographer Ray Lussier of Orr, a split second after scoring the goal to win the 1970 Stanley Cup "Flying", yet smiling, after being tripped as he scored the goal. This album is a wonderful keepsake of informal photos of Boston Sports heroes of the era.
