Côte Saint-Luc names library sports book section after Red Fisher
September 25, 2012
Côte Saint-Luc City Council has formally honoured legendary hockey writer Red Fisher. During a private ceremonyon September 24, attended by Mayor Anthony Housefather, members of city council and some senior staff, we officially named the sports section in the non-fiction part of our Eleanor London Côte Saint-Luc Public Library after Red.
This includes all the books on sports, from hockey to baseball, golf, soccer, etc. The section is quite large and comprises six shelving sections each having six rows. Red, a long time CSL resident, was on hand to help us unveil the plaque, which sits in the middle of the section at the top. “I have lived in Côte Saint-Luc for 56 years and I spend a lot of time at this library,” he acknowledged. “I am flattered by this honour.”
Red just recently retired from his extraordinary 58 year career covering the Montreal Canadiens, during which time he won three Canadian National Newspaper Awards and the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award for distinguished hockey writing from the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1985.
Because Red is such a regular at our library, Mayor Housefather , Councillor Sam Goldbloom and(responsible for the library) and Councillor Allan J. Levine (Red is his constituent) agreed with my suggestion that we recognize him in such a way. Thanks to Director of Library Services Janine West for coordinating everything.
Copies of Hockey Heroes and Me, a book Red wrote, is indeed part of our sports collection. I asked Red if he really is retired, given his recent series in The Montreal Gazette about the 1972 Canada-Russia series. He assured me that this is a one-time thing. Having just turned 86, he wants to take it easy. That being said, he still has a computer and communicates by email.
“Hey Red, I would love to see you start a blog,” I suggested.
“No way Mike,” he responded. “I am retired!”
Well if anything who deserves a break from the business, it is Red.
Cote St-Luc is at its usual shenanigans... scratching each other's backs, self sanctifying, etc...

Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers? I'd certainly appreciate it.

Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Thank you

Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Its such as you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something. I believe that you just can do with some % to pressure the message house a little bit, but instead of that, that is great blog. An excellent read. I'll definitely be back.

I simply bought into the hype of the ad and purchased this overpriced product without any thought of side effects or anything else. She mentioned the importance of this in weight reduction because lean muscle burns 50 calories per pound whereas fat only burns 3 calories. In addition, these residents have understood the various health benefits of this fruit.
