yeah, Pete wanted every Canadian kid to be able to read and write

there's been about $10M raised over the years by his golf tourneys in each province and territory (i always enjoyed watching clips of his NWT event!)...great that NB has been top success!

thanks for the McLeans article, char....like many, his vulnerability must have been part of the attraction....he had a long way to go to compete with Tiger, lol....i liked the bearded visage on latter years but other than that, he was made for radio....his tv show was slightly less annoying than Benmurghi, imo

years after they pass, there will likely be articles like this on Suzuki and even GL, however i think most of their 70s skeletons have already peered from the closet
