“No,” Guertin she answered immediately, “but I think my husband can.”
Her husband did. On Friday night, for the first time in his life, a rather nervous Robert Guertin, all dressed up in his own Blue Jays jersey, took the microphone and proudly belted out the Canadian national anthem at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches. He had never sang in public before.
“I was so nervous I almost forgot the words,” said Guertin, 67. Turns out, he didn’t forget them and he’ll never forget the experience.
