The Kid's appearance at the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame tonight marks the official launch and release of his biography, KID DYNAMITE The Gerry James Story. This culmination of the tour in a week-long celebration ends when Gerry joins the opening-game ceremonies between the Bombers and Alouettes on October 22, the Kid's 77th birthday!
Here, in Winnipeg, the Kid returns to his roots, where he grew up playing in community sponsored baseball, football and hockey programs; where he attended Kelvin High School; and where he signed his first pro contract with the Bombers at the age of 17. Winnipeg is where Gerry's unique talents were nurtured and honed. And, it was as a Blue Bomber that he recorded his greatest achievements.
The Tour would once again like to thank ardent Blue Bomber fan, Gilles Landry, owner of the Best Western Pembina Inn & Suites and the Mainstay Suites near the airport, for his generous support.
