GULLY MAY NOT BIZ KID
KING: Fellow members of the
Red Wings believe defenseman
Gully Simon may not be fooling
when he says he may stay in
Petawawa and make more money
than he could in hockey -. Gully
works with his in-laws. the
Giesebrechts, who Just about owns
the town which adjoinS one of the
big Canadian army camps d.
They operate a hotel, restaurant
and a bic service station among
other properties .. Consider the
added expense OF maintaining a
home here, higher prices and the
fact that he must pay taxes 10
two governments on a hockey
salary and you can sec how Gully
could be money ahead But
the Wings could use some Of his
body checks.
