“Sergeant Preston of the Yukon Visit to Riley Hospital, 1959”
Television actor Richard Simmons visited Riley Hospital in May, 1959.

Black and white photograph. A smiling white man with mustache in a Canadian Yukon uniform holds an open book while sitting on a hospital bed next to a white boy lying down. They are both looking at the camera. The man is smiling and the boy has a serious look on his face. A second white boy in another bed leans over in interest.   The head of the beds are against a wall on opposite sides of a window with closed blinds.
Winning Entry!

No, kids.  King couldn't be here today.  Dogs aren't allowed in the hospital.

Sure, the Mounties "always get their man." Sometimes, however, they have to start really early to do so.

Sorry Sir, but visiting hours are over.  The moose out front should have told you.

It is becoming more and more apparent that the Bloomington hospital needs to aggressively combat its growing mounty bug problem.

Boys, speeding is a serious offense.  But I'm a nice guy, so I'm letting you off with a warning.

Tragically, doctors did not believe they could safely remove the mounty from Billy's head.

"Hey Beav, What is this dude doing in our room?"

"I dunno Wally, but i really dig the mustache!"

"Sir, can I grow a mustache like that?"

"Yes, young son, I will show you how."  "Follow the steps in my book, and you will have a mustache just like mine!"

"Wow, golly, jeepers, all the girls will dig me now!"
