Yesterday Noisemaker and I went to town. Noisemaker had to go to the lumberyard and I started in with the grocery shopping. I finished up with the shopping, no Noisemaker in sight. I decided I would go and check out the book aisle. As I glanced skyward, what book do I see, Derek Sanderson - Crossing The Line. Oh my word. . .
I look to the right and I see this. . .
I got so excited. There was no one in the aisle so I was chatting Bruce and oh Derek, be still my heart.
Finally, my Noisemaker arrives. I tell him, you have to come and see these new books, it is very exciting. Of course, he has no idea to whom I am making reference to. He asked me, what - did John Prine write a book? Oh no, I replied wait until you see. We arrive at the book section, I reached for Derek and said...Look it is Derek Sanderson. #16 Boston don't you remember Derek. He does not remember, he did not follow hockey like I did, back in the day.
I believe Derek was post the original six. I loved the original six, Detroit, Boston, Toronto, New York, Chicago and Montreal.
When we arrived at the checkout the clerk picked up the book and said, Derek Sanderson. I responsed, I know, I could not believe it...remember all those fine hockey players...Guy Lafleur, Flying Phil, Yvan. We chatted about the hockey days of the past, it was a good lip flappin' session. I truly enjoy it just as I am sure I will the book. Thanks, Derek
