text: Somewhere in the mid to late 1980's I drove out to the U. of MB. for an 8:30am Biology class.  I would park in Q Lot , then walk over to my first class.  My arrival time in the parking lot often coincided with Stuart McLean's conversation with Peter Gzowsky, and with Stuart recounting an anecdote to Peter and the CBC radio audience.  Many of these stories were hilarious, and I was often late in getting away from my car because I just had to listen to the last 5 minutes of the story.
  
  I remember one story about the fans at the old Habs games in Montreal....if they didn't like the ruling from the referee, they would take off their "slip-on" rubber boots ( about 1 inch high, popular in the 1950's) and throw them @ the ref.  Soon the ice had thousands of these "slip-on" rubber boots.  It was great to listen to Peter and Stuart howling with laughter @ one of these stories.  A great way to start my day.  
  
  Stuart will have told a tale or two to St. Peter at the gate.  RIP.
