Hi everyone, This picture of Blair reminds me of a funny incident about Blair back in 67 or 68. Blair lived on Godin and Monteith right beside the laneway. I had a girlfriend whom had the hots for Blair. One night myself and a bunch of our friends decided to go to Blairs house and see if he would come out. When we got there we were too shy to ring his doorbell. Anyway we went into the laneway and bent down to look into Blairs basement window. What we saw broke us into a fit of laughter. There was Blair playing hockey in his underwear. All we could hear were the words He Shoots and He Scores!!!!! When I see some of my friends from back then we still laugh. It was a memory of Verdun that we won't forget. HF and RV Wendyjo
