True story. Early one morning as my wife was signing-in at a
corporate golf tournament, a charming and magnetic man sidled up to her
and, with a playful twinkle in his eyes, he smiled mischievously and
told her that he loved her.
Apparently my wife returned the sly
smile, told the man that she likewise loved him, and then flitted off to
find her foursome. Oh, and later on she insisted that she had no notion
whatsoever who the guy was to whom she had professed her love.
Honestly,
I'm not sure that not knowing this man is even within the realm of
possibility given where my wife resides and considering her nationality.
In her defense, she has an infamous history of not knowing famous
people, particularly those whose fame emanates from athletic arenas. She
once came home from a charity event with a photograph of her arm-in-arm
with "some retired hockey guy".
"That's not just some retired hockey guy,'" I gasped upon seeing the photo. "That's Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe."
Anyway,
a short while after exchanging early morning undying confessions of
deep and profound love with a man she purportedly did not know, my wife
was standing in the clubhouse with a friend awaiting their tee-off time,
when she spotted Mr. Twinkle In His Eyes. My wife elbowed her friend,
and whispered: "That's him, that's the man I was telling you about." To
which her friend exclaimed:
"Are you kidding me, that's Walter
Gretzky. You know... Wayne's dad!" Janet's father-in-law. Paulina's
grandfather. Patriarch of the proud and accomplished Gretzky clan.

99.87 per cent of us know -- exactly who Walter Gretzky is. Granted,
prior to that morning I had no notion that he was the guy who was in
love with my wife, even though they'd never met.
The Gretzkys
and the Junipers, you see, have a long, emotional and tortuously
entwined history. I mean, Wayne and I were once very,One Wholesale Cheap Designer Womens Long cocktail dresses manufacturers

the point in our relationship where we would surely have been
exchanging jewelry on major holidays. Doubters may say that I'm
delusional and note that I'd only met the Looney For Luck Guy, the
Canadian Ice Icon once, for 20 minutes, when I interviewed him between
courses of a dinner on the Rubber Chicken Circuit back in
I-don't-remember-when. But, doubters be damned, I know how meaningful
those 20 minutes were to Wayne. I saw the look in his baby blues. And I
know what we shared. The term 'soul mates' immediately springs to mind.
Alas,
our relationship took a tragic turn. We had a falling out when he
failed to invite me to his wedding to starlet Janet Jones.Many fashion

gowns. My guess is that his 'handlers' were jealous of how tight Wayne
and I had become. It was, in my mind, The Snub Of The Century.a reliable

Snub aside, I still managed to maintain a fairly close relationship
with The Great One without really ever actually, well,one of the premier

But
now my wife and Walter may well be ready to take the whole
Gretzky-Juniper relationship to a new level. I can't say for sure that
she'll end up as Wayne's step-mom, or that she'll be in a position to
offer some sage advice to Paulina, but naturally I have given
considerable thought to how this will ultimately effect me.
An even closer relationship with Wayne? At the very least, a better seat at Gretzky's restaurant. Hey, a man can dream.
