... what's the answer(s) .... and more importantly, who wins the spike?  

===================================================================================

Edit: Page 185 .... s-s-i-i-i-i-i-g-g-h-h. 

Oh, I t’ought the answers were…. implied. Garry Ungar and Red Berenson. Banjo Ben is out of model railroad spikes so I’ll substitute a wood screw à la Pete Seeger,,,,, everyone gets a troph.... err,  gets screwed

.

... you mean this Garry Ungar?  https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=5518 

I had the Argos/Blue Bumblers game on, but did catch the last 1/2 min. of Bruins/Hawks reg. time ... intended to catch the last half of OT, but it seems the Bruins had other ideas.   Furthermore and moreover.... where's Jackie with a smile of approval??

Mrs.Lindsay would scoff at such shoddy homework.

Skip has been busy staking out the geese in his pond lately, so…… but Jackie’s looking a bit different lately for some unknown reason……

Lard tunderin' jay-sus!!   Skip, save us all ... forget the geese... there's more important work ^^ to do!!

Too bad Mrs. Lindsay didn't have hockeydb and/or the all-knowing Google AI at her disposal: "Garry Unger (spelled with an e) is the famous Canadian former NHL hockey player. Known as the "Iron Man," he played 914 consecutive regular-season games."

[Fwiw, I had considered putting "Once a teacher, always a teacher." in t'other thread, but decided against it.  ]

There's something odd going on this Hallowed Oct. 31,, hmmm

p.s., another wrinkle - Jay Ungar, fiddler, is the composer of "Ashokan Farewell" that was the theme for Ken Burns/Berns/Byrnes' documentary "The Civil War". 

wrinkle no,. 2

I have one of these Gordy Howe cards .... a couple of dealers in Winnipeg offered me $50; I figure the misspelling alone should be worth 50, so it looks like it'll "eventually" (?) fall to my executrix to figure out.

Well, I misremembered …. not geese, but SWANS!

Skip, save us all ... forget the swans... there's more important work to do!!  

There's till a few geese loitering around here, but not many.   Bigger proportion of snows [and maybe Ross's?] than earlier on.

We had some of these Shirriff hockey coins, maybe 25 of’em. My brother, who keeps just about everything (he still had Hallowe’en candy left in May) and kept the “Tall Boy” hockey cards (I think 1963-64 ?) did not! keep the “Gord Howe” coin…. sheesh

In addition to that beautiful afternoon light, one of the nice things about having swans in the neighborhood is that they positively hate Canada geese and tend to drive them off toot sweet. Which suits me fine. Canada geese almost certainly have their virtues, especially when one can enjoy hearing and seeing them in the air. Upon landing, however, they become mobile turd factories of impressive output.

I deserve better. And so does she.
