Dave Tibbs - Well the year is 1902 and I have just met Dave. Who would have guessed that bashful Dave when we were back in Grade XI at E.K.C, would meke out so well. Why I remember him when we were back in E.K.C. as a 5 ? 10” weighing 159 lbs with sloping shoul¬ ders, dimples in his cheeks and trying to play hockey. You could have knocked me over with a feather when I walked into the president ' s office of Imperial Oil Co. and saw him sitting at the desk reading a comic book (Superman) and spitting sunflower seeds on the floor. At the same time he was telling two of his sidekicks dim Forsyth and Mel Finlaysen to mop the floors, I sat down and talked to him and learned that ho was President of the Manitoba Branch of Imperial Oil Co. and in winter, Coach of the Detroit Bed Wings who for the past four years have won the Stanley Cup.
