Sure does look like Ditka.

There was an article in the Chi Tribune a couple of years ago about his memory issues, he didn’t know anyone anymore.

Pretty interesting story about how his parents sent him to St Catherine’s from Eastern Europe during WW 2 to live with relatives when he was eight.

Pretty sure that's Bobby Hull with the big grin between Mikita and his bride (cute bride).
