I once got Gordie Howe's autograph. It was Opening Night, 1980. North Stars were playing the Hartford Whalers. This was back in the days when I had season tickets. Stars won in a romp,9-3. We hung around a bit after the game to let the traffic thin out. I was standing next to the ramp where the visitors team bus was parked. A group of Whalers players came out, one of them being Howe. Seeing an opportunity, I asked him for his autograph and he obliged. I was in my early twenties, but I was so excited, I felt like I did when I was a little kid chasing down Twins after a game at the old Met.
