Rob, Bruce and the rest..... thanks for sharing these tremendous stories! I promoted shows for 30+years and had a few stores so I had players sign autographs frequently. I was at a Bruins game and invited into the Alumni room by score-keeper, Arthur Katz. It was a few days before Christmas and I had a great time with Ken Hodge, Terry O'Rielly and Ace Bailey. It was the last time I saw Ace before the 9/11 tragedy the next year. Ace gave me his business card as a scout for the Kings and an old one from Edmonton. We had a blast and although I still see Hodge, O'Rielly and others, damn, I really miss Ace........ I have another tale to tell later about how I got Pete Rose's Wampum Card for Foxwoods Casino!
