That was a high point in many people’s lives.

Too young to leave us.

Gosh -- that's a shame. The Suters are a big hockey family. Bob's brother Gary played in the NHL for a long time, and won a Stanley Cup in 1989 with the Calgary Flames.

Bob's the first of those players to pass on.

That was another 'Where were you when...' moment. Where were you? I know I was at the Hartford Boat Show selling a small sailboat to a customer., when I heard on the PA 'Attention.. the USA hockey team beat the Russians...'.

I was happy that I almost forgot to charge tax to the customer. He asked me if I was a hockey fan and I to,d him yes... he gave me a ticket to the Whalers. He was a player for them... and it was the start of many boats the Whalers bought from us.

If I remember right, and I may not, we still had to beat Finland who was just as good as the Russians, for the gold.

“Part of a moment that was more important than sports. “

Just what you said. Their victory was the opening salvo of the resurgence of America. The Reagan revolution came right on its heels slamming the door on years of misery that had brought us Jimmy Carter.
