Along with my clean-up, my dad wanted me to take a look at some stuff to see they were worth keeping or not. Low and behold, there was a box of Ben's old hockey cards from the early 80's. Most of the cards are no longer in very good condition... getting whipped towards the wall under the blacktop at Nootka Elementary probably took its toll. There's one pack of cards still partially wrapped, and still in good condition. In the bunch, I saw lots of Wayne Gretzky cards (points leader, goal scorer, etc) and a lot of great oldies (Stan Smyl, Tom Barrasso, ...). It's funny to see Mark Messier and Grant Fuhr with hair. Anyway, I'll leave those around for Ben to take care of, but it was nice to flip through them. Brings me back to the good old days when life was less complicated.
