Laraque loves my kids !

Avery, Gabe, and myself went downtown to the Bounce radio station to say good-bye to Georges Laraque. Little did we know that the munchkins would make page 3 of the Edmonton Sun. The City T.V. camera also caught us, but we have no conformations that we were on live t.v. as of yet ! The "Big Guy" is very classy and willl be missed ! G actually started signing autographs at 8:00 a.m. and kept going til at least 6:00 p.m. (we stood patiently for nearly 2 hours). My uncle Neil got a signed photo and well-wishes for his recovery, and had I thought to ask Georges to see him in the hospital I'm sure he would have gone ! #27 had no problem possing for this photo, he only asked if the kids would be okay ! When he lifted them, the crowd ooohed and awwwed and that's when the cameras started buzzing. Very cool ! Georges is the classiest "fighter" I've ever had the pleasure of meeting ! Good Luck in Phoenix big guy !
