Some feller shot and killed his wife in a big mansion out in Springbank back in the late eighties. Next door neighbour was Lanny McDonald (I'm pretty sure he testified during the trial). Long story short, some doctor ended up buying the place later, and my father and I were involved in the renos. Didn't bother me at all being in the house. Even sanded out and refinished the bullethole on the oak fireplace mantle.
Lanny had a big ol' friendly English Sheepdog at the time who'd wander over and keep us company. To me, that was a bigger "Brush With Celebrity."
