Hay Lefty!!!   Get out of bed. I want to share a little story about the first time I saw the Wings. The rest of you can tune in as well. I don't mind. I'm having a few Canadian Beer so my spelling may not be the greatest..
Left Nova Scotia in 1963 for the land of what was called "The milk and honey". Ontario.. Took me two days using my thumb. Got to St. Thomas Ont. and said to my sister at the door "Surprise". Well after a month looking for work I was getting a little concerned. But hell, who would hire a drifter at 18.
Started work for a garbage company at a dollar and hour and all I could eat. When I look back after spending 35 years in hospital adminstration they were (truth) the best years of my life.
Back to the story. Lefty.!!!! are you there??
One day, one of my co-workers asked if I was comming to the hockey game. Detroit was playing against Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull and the rest of thos f Hawks.
To make a long story short I climbed aboard a buss that was full of friends and where the suitecases are placed it was full from one end to the other with beer. (cases of 24's) "DOW"
I'm going to bed, will relate the rest some other night....................
