He had been succesful in the oil business (maybe an engineer in fact) back in the day but his son was killed in an accident and he went hard to the bottle and it cost him the rest of his family (or at least his wife).

Your not mixing him up with that other semi-famous Calgary bum, Ron Beard, I think, who was a geologist that CBC did a documentary on? Anyone have Cal's last name?

I don't think so. Some friends of mine helped Cal out quite a bit for a couple years and that story about his former life came right from the Crazy Horse's mouth. [/b][/quote]
Ron I believe is a guy that lost both of his legs due to frost bite while on the streets. Sadly he passed away a couple years ago I believe.
