Minnesota North Stars-Unforgettable Memory

In the winter of 1967, when I was 13, I was on a plane going from Chicago to Minneapolis to visit some relatives when a large group of men came on the plane and took the rest of the seats around me. The man sitting next to me turned and said 'Do you know who we are?'. I shook my head no and he said 'We're the Minnesota North Stars'. Sure enough, the original, expansion, North Stars were on the plane with me.
The player sitting next to me was Bill Goldsworthy. I asked Goldsworthy t0 point out some of the other players to me and he did.
Parker MacDonald was sitting across the aisle. Cesare Maniago was taking a nap right behind me. Moose Vasko was a few rows behind him.
During the flight I peppered Goldsworthy with hockey questions and he was gracious and kind, asking him stuff that a 13 year old would ask like: What's it like to play against Bobby Hull?'. He was nice about it all.
When the plane landed, Goldsworthy handed me an autograph sheet that all the players had signed. Some of them came up to me and thanked me for being a fan. I was overwhelmed.
I also met Johnny Mariucci, a coach with the team who had been a player for the Blackhawks in the 1940's. He signed as well. A wonderful memory all these years later.
