Notes |
- Waterloo resident remembers his one glorious year in the CFL and Grey Cup
WATERLOO - Rod Smith is looking forward to watching the 100th Grey Cup this weekend \emdash 63 years after winning the trophy himself.
The 90-year-old will see the Toronto Argonauts take on the Calgary Stampeders at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on Sunday, the same city where Smith grew up and eventually won Canadian football's grand prize with the Montreal Alouettes in 1949.
Smith, who moved into an apartment in the Waterloo Heights retirement building in September after losing his wife Shirley to cancer in August, will enjoy the game from the comfort of his living room....
