I don't know if he qualifies as a celebrity but I just noticed that Larry Wood, former Herald sports editor, died Feb. 15. He covered 50 Briers, 13 Olympic games and the arrival of the Calgary Flames. He's in the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame. His interests were wider than sports, including travel and geography.

yeah I don't think its a stretch to say that there was a time- probably around that run that Jiri is pointing out where he was viewed as one of the top in the game? 71 is way too young
