My "Hood Part Three

Red Fisher 
A few doors down from us on Rand Avenue, were the Fishers.  The young dad, Red Fisher was a sports journalist with the now defunct, Montreal Star.  Even though he was only a few years into his career, the walls of his study were full of photographs of him with all the famous Montreal Canadiens hockey players.  As a teenager I was a huge Montreal Canadiens fan, so this really impressed me.

What impresses me now is that Red Fisher, who started his journalism career with The Star in 1954 as a hockey writer and went on to be the Sports Editor of The Montreal Gazette, is still at it today – 56 years later!  He was the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from Sports Media Canada in 1999.  


Way-to-go, Red Fisher!
