In fact, I stopped him from driving while impaired, and took him home. In response, he gave me four season tickets to the Blackhawks, for the next two years.  I had made arrangements for him to call our station at any time he had a little too much to drink, when in our jurisdiction, and whomever was on duty in that beat would give him a ride home. The tickets were in appreciation for us helping him like that.Let's just say that I liked the man very much. A lot of fans called him "Dollar Bill," and thought of him as a cheapskate, who wouldn't invest in his team. Yet, he had stars like Bobby Hull, Stan Makita, and a host of others, who made them a successful team. It was ironic that he really made his money in the business of alcohol.</blockquote>
