The Gretzky autograph

(Click for bigger)

Ok, this says "Please clean room," but the poor man signed a lot of autographs. You can't blame him for dropping the odd article.

What was even better was that my friend Dave was a huge Wayne Gretzky fan, and Dave's parents took a whole bunch of us to the Edmonton game at the Cap Centre for my friend's birthday. And my dad was able to get me an extra media guide and Mr. Gretzky was gracious enough to sign it "Happy Birthday Dave."

I haven't seen Dave in years...I wonder of he still has that.
