Looks like we are "dadding out" here so just add am so glad to still have both my parents with me and still relatively healthy and "with it" into their late 70's. It was my dad who took me to my first Bomber games and got me hooked on the Bombers in the late 70's when I was still in early grade school. I still remember my teacher in Grade 5 coming up to me in November and asking me if I could write down for her husband all the scores of the Bomber games for the entire year from memory and I did it like it was nothing. I can't do that now, I can tell you, but that's how big a fan I was even back then, I memorized and could tell you every detail and the final score of every game the Bombers played in 1982. Right through to the heart-breaking Western final against Edmonton. Of course it helped that we were season ticket holders (thanks Dad!) and I was present at half of the games.
East side - Gimmee a B!! RIP Jack Skelly. Oh would that guy have loved to be watching the Bombers now in these new glory days.
