Am I the only one who got inundated with stories about the Richardsons - how they built Winnipeg, and how the entire country owes them a debt of gratitude due to their single-handedly ending WW2?
Bit of hyperbole, granted
I guess if you weren't around during Winnipeg's brief high-rise "wars" in the 70s you might not remember much about the Richardson family. I just can't possibly ever use the word "underrated" to describe their reputation in Winnipeg with a straight face! They're one of the families that ranks up their with Bronfman or Asper in terms of media coverage, or at least sure used to be. I guess they've dropped off the radar as the kids and grandkids have come onto the scene.
JAR - cool name, I like it beyond my smartass comments.
