heard story on radio today, Howe lived next to family with young son who would play hockey in driveway. Geordie would come over and play with the kid. the mother became concerned a strange man kept coming over to play with her son, she called police who came out to the house.
When they discovered who the man was they told her it's Mr Hockey , Gordie Howe, no worries,lol.
I guess she wasn't into sports. must have been single Mom.
