Gordie Howe Interview from 1959

This is terrific!  With appearances from Marty and Mark Howe too.

Six years ago he played fifteen games with his broken right wrist in a cast, and led the league in goals and assists while setting an all time season record of ninety-five points.

He and Al Kaline, the outfielder of the Detroit Tigers, are partners in the Howe-Kaline-Carlin Corporation, an engineering firm in Detroit, and he works at that during the off-season.
