The_tall_midget 07/12/19 7:28:44 PM #23:	Interesting story: Jacques Demers, who won the Stanley Cup with the 1992-93 Montreal Canadiens managed to be illiterate most of his life and nobody noticed. From Wikipedia: On November 2, 2005, Demers released a biography, written by Mario Leclerc, entitled En toutes lettres (English translation: All Spelled Out), in which he revealed that he is functionally illiterate. According to Demers, he never really learned to read or write because of his abusive childhood in Montreal. He covered for himself by asking secretaries and public relations people to read letters for him, claiming he could not read English well enough to understand them (though he speaks English and French equally well). When he served as general manager of the Lightning, he brought in Cliff Fletcher and Jay Feaster as his assistants; as it turned out, they did most of the work a general manager would normally do because Demers knew he could not do it himself. --- "There is no crisis at the border!"
