31. Howe. My dad met him at a golf tourney. They ended up talking quite a bit, I think maybe a couple beers. My dad told me that he told Gordie about me, I don’t think I was a year old yet. In the morning when my Dad went to check out of the hotel the clerk said “Mr. Howe left this for you”. It was a photo of Gordie in a Whalers jersey signed to me. I’ve still got it!
