Reporter narrowly misses kidnap attempt

IT WAS 1967 AND A FABULOUS SUMMER OF EXPO IN MONTREAL. MY FRIENDS AND I HAD RENTED A HOUSE IN WESTMOUNT....ONE OF MY ROOMMATES WAS A SPORTS JOURNALIST WITH A CITY PAPER AND ALSO WROTE ARTICLES FOR A STUDENT NEWSPAPER .ONE DAY TWO LARGE GENTLEMEN CAME TO OUR DOOR LOOKING FOR HIM. ANOTHER MATE WENT TO THE DOOR AND INFORMED THEM THAT HE WASN,T HOME. I LOOKED OUT AND RECOGNIZED ONE OF THE HEAVYWEIGHTS AS A LOCAL COLLEGE COACH.IT WAS SOMETIME LATER THAT I LEARNED ABOUT THE MISSION THEY WERE ON ,FROM THIS COACH WHO BECAME A FRIEND. APPARENTLY THE JOURNALIST HAD WRITTEN SOME DEROGATORY STUFF ABOUT A WELL KNOWN COLLEGE ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATOR AND HE WAS SO UPSET HE SENT HIS HENCHMEN TO KIDNAP THE WRITER AND TAKE HIM TO THE NEAREST US BORDER CROSSING. THEY WOULD TURN HIM OVER TO THE US AUTHORITIES AS A DESERTER FROM THE DRAFT LUCKLY MY ROOMMATE WASN,T HOME AND AFTER SOME REFLEXION THE PLOT WAS ABBANDONED.... I GUESS THE LUCK OF THE IRISH WORKED THAT DAY....
