I've met Bill a couple of times. Literally the nicest person I've ever met.

I've only met 2 celebrities in person. 1 was Howard Eskin at the first time Nashville ever came to philly. If I remember we killed them 8-0. Memorable game, cause it was my 3rd. My first one was Alexander Daigle's first game as a Flyer against Matt Barnaby and the Sabers. Barnaby shot a puck at me and my Dad during practice. We were agaisnt the glass. My second was way later that season and was Daigles first goal. Cant remember what game that was... Maybe it was the Nasvhille game. Its getting a little fuzzy now... Any who, Eskin was nice and talked to my Dad for about 20 minutes. I was a teen, and had no idea who he was...

The Second person I met was John Daily. He came to my country club for a celebrity invitational. Drove the green on a par 4. Best shot I ever saw. Pulled me out of the crowd and told me to putt for him. He said"hell, its only for money right?" I was like 10. I missed the first putt, about 20 feet, but made the second. He tied the hole. Got a nice pic and autograph and memeory out of it...

I'm not sure that was a memorable game. That really shouldn't be your opinion.

Clement is class all the way. Ive met him on several occasions. Dating all the way back to 1976 when he visited Ms. Glass' art class in Brigantine NJ. Who later became Mrs. Clement.

Then a few times over the years I have met him and always bring that up. He always remembers the visit for obvious reasons.




That is my brother on the left. Unfortunately I don't have one with me in it.

I'm not sure Howard Eskin should be considered 'a celebrity'.

Bill,

Another great article.

I would be happy with MAB as our #6. Coburn and Grossmann are young.

Carle is fine if cheap.

Timmo - give him less ice time for gods sake.

That would be nice. Could bump Grossmann or Meszy to 7th spot.

Yep, because we'd have to trade Lilja for him. Maybe even include Harry Z or Holmstrom, too

My mother-in-law's neighbor's house. Her old neighbor died from cancer, then the husband of the couple that bought it died like a year later. There's obviously a pox.
