Toronto Argonauts
My father was a vice-president with Northrup Aerospace in the 70's and he had to go to Toronto for a month to assist in setting up a plant there. I got to join him for a week and the President of the new Toronto tickets had season tickets to the maple leafs and the Argonauts.
I had never seen a hockey game, southern California kid, and was amazed by the speed on the ice. I quickly fell in love with the sport and have never left.
We went to an Argonaut game, Terry Metcalf was playing for them, and it was the coldest football game I ever went to. The seats were steel bleachers and while the game was very interesting compared to the NFL style of football I will never forget how cold I was.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
