Mr O (bert olmstead) 4 stanley cups with montreal and 1 with toronto if i remember right.A good friend of my dad and meet him lots when young.This is good i was sledding down in fernie and parked waitting for colin to come back and was parked bye this big trailer from septure sask and when they got inn i ask if the want a cool one so they did i ask u from septure sask ya i say u kn
ow bert o oh ya he still knowing there very cool...:d

I went to school with jan ardon for 11 years.

I meet vince gills`s x and sister (sweethearts`s of the rodeo) old country singer`s. Pulled them out of ditch bye viginra hills on hwy 43 west of white court.

Mr George fox

Mr Loyld Gallarger climbed mnt everest . I took my avie trainning throu him and other`s at kananaskis country.

I guess I can add Bert to my list too. Did you know that he could've went into the MLB or NHL. I lived 2 miles outside of Sceptre when I was young and then moved 10 kms. North to Prelate until I was 18. I'm sure I know the guys you met sledding and am not surprised that they didn't turn down a free beer.

Bert came to our ball windup when we were young and went undefeated the whole season, we all tryed on his ring and were in awe of this famous person who had Stanley cup rings, he was into his sixties I'd say so we really didn't know who he was, but we were sure impressed.

It was all very show bizzy and stuff. He was a star, we were the supporting cast, so I guess it was all to be expected. He was supposed to sign an autograph for me, but was swept away by some pretty pretty girls. I was just a young kid so my feelers were hurt. His fiddle player Steve was awesome though. Took time between shows to play catch with a football with me and help me tune my fiddle. When I was sick and in the infirmary he came by to see how I was before we had to go on stage.

Yes those are the guys I figured, I've had my vehicles in there many times before. Cuddy(the owner) always goes out of his way to take care of me.
I used to work with his brother, Wimpy, who I am sure would've been one of the other guys riding with him.
