Pretty interesting story about how his parents sent him to St Catherine’s from Eastern Europe during WW 2 to live with relatives when he was eight.

Mike Ditka (and Bobby Hull) stood up in Stan Mikita’s wedding.

Pretty sure that's Bobby Hull with the big grin between Mikita and his bride (cute bride).
