The greatest hockey dad of all time. He meant a lot to all Canadians.

RIP Walter.

Same thing happened to me.

When I first saw the post on Gretzky's Twitter account I thought Wayne was the one who had passed at first too. RIP Walter, teacher and father tof The Great One.

Never heard of him.

Sadly, this is actually true--I really don't watch any sports.

May he rest in piece. :boohoo:

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies.

However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:

Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).
