Gord Miller said a while back Dave Dryden was his substitute reacher @ high school while he was playing for Oilers
The Drydens are all men of high integrity.
Their father upon arriving in Canada, had a heartwrenching story. He just hopped on a train as far as it would take him and got off in a random town somewhere.
And then, went door to door asking for work and a place to stay, until someone obliged.
He faced a lot of adversity as many times, he could not find a place to sleep. He never forgot what it was like not to be able to count on your own bed. So later in life, he made that a vocation and started a non-profit to help out people in need who did not have a bed and provided beds free of charge.
You can tell where Ken and Dave got their example. Both of them humble, intelligent, well read and caring.
These are the kind of people that inspire me, that push me to do better. We're so lucky to have Ken among us, he's been such a voice for change and always sees the good in people. All of them, kind souls. We need more people like them who give of themselves to make a difference for the better, in the lives of others, and who never forgot where they came from.
