Be Well George

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

We will miss you.

You are welcome at our games as my guest anytime. Thanks for caring so much about DC sports and for being a friend.

You were the best of the best of local sports editing and now it is time to write the next chapter in your book. I am flattered to have been mentioned in your column and to have been “yelled at” by you from time to time.  Onward.

Congratulations to Mike Gartner

We are honored to celebrate Mike’s career tonight.

To be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame is a great honor and to have the team you were drafted by and flourished with retire your jersey is also a fitting capstone to a great career in the NHL. The fans remember your great play and achievements and your contributions to our franchise. Congratulations to you and your family. You will always be a Washington Capital in our eyes.
