Here I am in about 4' of snow, beside Gordie Howe and this famous statue of him, near the big rink in town -- in Saskatoon, where he is from.
His ashes, and his wife's are both now here, as of last August, 2016. I did my Grade 3 book report on him, he was one of my favourite players ever.
Howe was born in Floral, Sask., but his family moved nine days later to Saskatoon, where he grew up before embarking on a record-setting hockey career in the United States.
He died on June 10, 2016 at the age of 88. International media was all over this, he was a great ambassador for the game, honestly.
Numerous facilities and a street in Saskatoon have been named in Howe’s honour and a proposal following his death to name one of the city’s bridges after him is also going ahead.
Howe spent 26 seasons in the NHL and six in the World Hockey Association. He is still No. 2 on the NHL’s all-time goals list behind Wayne Gretzky.
Why This Series, Barry?

I was driving across the country here and there and have TONS of photos from my various journey around North America.
I decided to start posting some of them since some people have encouraged me to post more personal things over the months which I have done.
This photo is from my Cross Country Mission Trip in 2006 where I called it Coast to Coast w. the Holy Ghost LOL.
My Philosophy In Daily Life & Travels:
--
I have always tried to be kind to people every day, as part of my life Philosophy, since I have always believed we can achieve more TOGETHER.
Technically lately the last while I started posting travel pictures, and never thought of starting another series with them, which is funny, because I have come up with and run so many series' here on Steemit LOL.
My path to Crypto is with you guys and we are on the path to Liberty.
We are all early adopters here, if you are even close to reading this today.
Be encouraged.
Don't let anyone tell you twins are a problem ever!!!!!
FUD or no FUD!!!
Thanks for reading, have a nice day.

And my path to crypto is with you as well! Thank you for sharing, you seem to always have valuable content. As a newcomer to Steemit, it is great to see the Steemit platform used how it is supposed to be.
Man, that is some kind of constructive comment!
Thanks Dylan!!!
#Encouragement counts!!!

That name Gordie Howe has a familiar ring to it. Maybe I heard of it while I was growing up in Minnesota. I always did enjoy watching hockey more than baseball. Spent a fair bit of my youth on the ice just skating around.
You def. would have being there, I forgot you were there.
I spent time that winter with MN folks who were in Seminary there, when I was at the seminary and bible college.
We were on the quieter side of the housing acreage for older folks and married types, LOL.
Ah, solo roadies so much fun....

That's a lot of impressions. Twitter show us his twitter wallet hehe.
That is just the 1st screen there, I have been very consistent there but this week some of my numbers jumped. Upon first glance it seems the travel posts are really doing a lot of it but the crypto #'s are still always OK.
twins are a problem ever... Surely not
Correct!!
#Pizza is Life!
Nice posing
