Lovely Habs Wives in the 1950’s (Part 3 of 5) May 29, 2008
Bernie “Boom Boom” Geoffrion with his wife Marlene and kids. That little gaffer is Danny, who went on to play for the Habs in the late ’70’s, early ’80’s. Marlene is the daughter of Howie Morenz, so she’s a hockey gal through and through. She looks beautiful, especially the picture of her in the white blouse.
Big Jean Beliveau doing the dishes with wife Elise. Elise said she had to do most of the driving when they were dating because Jean was a lousy driver.
These wives seem so nice. Every time I see athletes wives on TV, they always seem so miserable and skanky. Not all of them, of course, just most.
I agree Dani. And wives now have so much more money. Back then, their hockey-playing husbands usually had summer jobs.
DK,
Pics depicting history. Not only another time, another era. Lots of `good’ came with those times and lots of stuff we wanted gone …hehehe, hence `Sex In The City’ and `Cheech & Chong’ - not that I think much of either of these `iconic’ productions, only they do sum up the sixties, eh? Sigh, well, I like to think something more came out of the `social unrest’ than them.
