Early life.

Career.
Lennon worked as freelance photographer for many years, and was one of the first photographers recruited by the "Star" after they decided to hired an in-house photographic staff. Lennon worked for the "Star" for 47 years, retiring in 1990. His photograph of Paul Henderson won him many awards, including the Canadian Press Picture of the Year and a National Newspaper Award. The photograph has appeared in countless books, and was used as the design for a Royal Canadian Mint coin and a postage stamp.
