'I've been playing hockey in Quebec for two week,and when I got back last night there was a letter from him!
He mailed it the day before he died.' He pulled a letter from the pocket of his jacket and passed it to me.
Pierre,
I thought I saw Howard the other day in a very odd place. I tried calling him, but his wife said he was in quebec with you. Give me a ring when you get back and let me know Boom Boom
'Who's Howard? Howard Mattingly?'
Pierre nodded. Mattingly was another ice hockey player with the Black Hawks, though not on the first team.
