Boris Brott and the HPO put on a special concert at McMaster University for grade 7/8 students from across the city in February 1970. He connected with Hamiltonians of all ages. Our thoughts are with his wife Ardyth and the Brott family. Image from HWDSB Educational Archives

A couple of photos of the Golden Jet in Hamilton snapped by Reg Button. Bobby Hull and his brother Dennis were at a Gemini Mercury Sales promotion at the dealership near Queenston and Nash circa 1971. Anyone remember the event? #Hamont #GoldenJet #BobbyHull
