Caleb,

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Your grandfather was quite a person, and an exceptional hockey player. I remember as a child reading about the famous "Kraut" line and the wonderful, patriotic send off they received when, as young men, they volunteered to fight against the Germans. "Woody" certainly was a grandfather that you could be proud of! Jerry Flynn
