My mother Aniela Bannish was born on January 25, 1919 and she was given this mug from a friend who told her that she shared a Birthday with the Famous Rabbie Burns.
I have no Idea when this mug came into her possession ( guessing about 40 years ago) but I always remember it being on the side of the fireplace mantle every January. I suspect that there were reasons for this but I can only say that it was maybe her way of reminding us of her birthday.
The mug has information about Robert Burns his birth place and death. My mother passed away in 1999 but I cannot throw it away since today it still reminds me of my mom and I have a good tradition to put it out every Robbie Burns day to continue to celebrate her.

Hockey at Dixie Arena in the 1970's
My son the "Collector" I had no idea that he kept all the souvenirs from his hockey time at the Long gone Dixie arena He played Goalie for the Mississauga Reps he was good too I often feel I should have insisted that he continue.
