"I served Gordie Howe once as a teenager waitering at Mother's Pizza in Peterborough. He was with his wife. I was terrified. As I went to the table, my mouth went dry, my hands were shaking, my voice cracked as I asked them what they wanted...he clearly knew I was nervous...they ordered...he asked where a great place would be to take his wife for a drive... I was sweating through my shirt a bit i was so nervous around him.....This is the guy who owned hockey for 40 years! The Gordie Howe Hat Trick !! Mr. Elbows! When I brought the bill over, I thanked them and wished them well..I remember his credit card said Howe Enterprises on it..and when they got up to leave, Mr. Howe came over to the bar and put his hand on my shoulder..and told me I did a great job, and wished me a great weekend. A classy move from a class act."
