3. I remember going to his restaurant in Glastonbury, CT in the early 80's

when he was playing for the Hartford Whalers. Neat place and good food (and beverages)!

4. WOW. It's tough for him now, I know. But what a Great.

For Michigan, he's Joe Louis, Ty Cobb, Barry Sanders, Al Kaline, Earvin Johnson and then some.

He's not just Mr. Hockey. Thanks for the reminder.
