Bob Olsen, an award-winning photographer who documented pivotal episodes in Canadian history for the Star for nearly three decades, has died. He was 91.
Olsen died in a long-termcare home in Aldergrove, B.C., on Dec. 22, following a few years of declining health, according to his daughter, Christine March.
