OK. I am a native Texan, and a true Bruins fan since I was in Boston when 9 years old for a major retina surgery, since I had already lost my right eye. Long story short, the Bruins score keeper (Tony Nota) took me under his wing, and not only took me to games, but also in the locker room several times. I, personlly met Orr, Esposito, Cheever, Bucyk, Hodge, Sanderson, etc. It was the 69-70 season, and it was crazy in the old Gardens. I went back to Boston and went on one of the last tours before it was torn down. The girl giving the tour would not allow anyone to go inside the sacred Boston locker room, and when I mentioned (in my deep Texas drawl) that I had been in there multiple times. She went silent for a few seconds, and then proceeded say "Okaaay, moving right along." I started to say something else, and my wife elbowed me to remind me that no one believed it.

Anyway, in my game room picture, that is a game used Gerry Cheevers stick from when I was there. And, so far as the jersey, it is custom made for me when I play (bubble) hockey. LOL. Maybe someday, my dream Stanley Cup Finals of Boston and Dallas will come true.
