Icon24 Congratulations to My Flames' Fan Friends
We are on the cusp of a new season, and I see that the city of Calgary and the franchise agreed to a 35 year commitment, with a new stadium included. Hopefully, the new arena will be worthy of such loyal fans.

I am looking forward to chatting with you guys and gals in the upcoming weeks. I promise to be lurking.

On a personal level, I have freed up my evenings to watch hockey and enjoy life. I have retired after a 45 year hospital career, 3 years as a Pharmacy Tech, and 42 years as a Pharmacist.

Good luck to you and your team!

foss, you're one of the good ones. Please stop by CP often this season. Just don't rub how good Bedard is in our faces.

Happy retirement.

Enjoy your retirement, foss. Try not to rub it when Bedard makes one of our defenceman look silly.

Foss, you are the man.

Get yourself a Bedard jersey as a treat yourself! He will be a good one to watch for basically all of your retirement and beyond!

Congrats Foss!

All the best!

Never mind the 25 years of school necessary for such prestigious vocation. By which math means this Gentleman may have seen the Cubs win (would have been funnier 10 years ago).
