Emile "Butch" Bouchard

[BigBear1888]

Hi Guys! I wanted to drop-in and see if anyone knows how Butch is doing, I have heard from different sources that he was ill and I knopw he is getting up there in years but recently I saw a person got a return from him and I was wondering if anyone knew if he is feeling better and possibly signing again. I met him once in person and he was very nice and I had my picture taken with him and was hoping to send it to him and ask him to sign it. Any info/help is greatly appreciated.

I had success thru the Habs alumni as recent as Oct/08.

speaking of which does anyone have an 8X10 image of him?

There was a nice one of him on ebay the other day. I am not sure if it is still listed. There was one a few months back that i wish I had gotten that show Butch and Elmer Lach together.

yea that would have been a nice one, i have one in a Montreal Canadiens book but its a pain to scan and I don't want to ruin the page or cut it out of the book.

I found a neat website the Butch Bouchard's family has about him. There are some great pictures but it is written in French so I have no idea what it says, thought everyone would like to check it out. The link is below. Go Pens & Habs!!!
