A few years ago I was in the security line up in the Ottawa Airport. Jack Layton was in front of me and Ken Drydon behind.

Layton a shorter guy, was smiling widely and dressed to kill. I suspect to get maximum public recognition. He was randomly picked to go through the enhanced security check in front of us, and seemed pleased to get the attention.

On the other hand, Dryden, a tall big fellow, dressed like any guy on the street, seemed to be trying to escape attention and blend in (which is difficult for a guy his size). I asked him, "are you Ken Drydon?". He replied in a very low voice yes, as if to escape any recognition from the airport crowd. I found it a real contrast. I asked him a few questions, and fropm the brief encounter, he seemed like a really nice guy (regardless of the banner he worked under, on the ice or off).
