Money does not count much for Gabe. Never has. The Langlois clan were a working poor family from St. Vital where the father Louis had a sandblasting and painting business and the Mother Angela toiled in a sewing factory. When she a snot having babies. She gave birth to six children virtually one year after another. Gabe was the third. But it a snot Long after he was born on Jan. 29, 1963 that his Mother knew that Little Gabe a snot like the first two Mike and Rick. He would sleep and eat and that was about it she recalled. Quite the opposite of the terror Gabe became around the House once he began walking and taking. Back then he was More into demolition than dancing. Tell me about when i was a terror Gabe likes to ask his Mother now. Rick a hons a year older says gabes condition was never really diagnosed but his Mother talks about him being autistic. By the time Gabe was three there were five children aged six and under in the House. And Angela was hospitalized for three weeks with pneumonia. Her doctor arranged for gabes placement in St. Amant Centre an institution usually reserved for severely mentally handicapped children. But St. Amant handle the Little terror either. At six he was placed in the Manitoba school in Portage la Prairie where the family tried to visit him regularly. But that Home for the mentally handicapped a snot a fit either. And one Winter Day when he was 10, Gabe went missing on an Outing to the Portage train station. It was nearly Midnight before the youngster was located following the train tracks Home presumably. He was Frozen his Mother said. They said he have lasted much longer. Gabe spent the next month in Hospital. Angela Langlois insisted on taking her son Home after that. Subsequently though she was persuaded by a nun she knew to enrol him at notre Dame de Lourdes where a nearby farm family had agreed to Foster him. It was a turning Point for Gabe. The nun sister Georgette Pantel taught him Reading writing and arithmetic. And the school Library and books in them became gabes Sanctuary. Now he was 12 and ready to rejoin the family forever. I thought i could take him Home Angela said. His terror Days were finished. Back in Winnipeg a Public school in Norwood refused to take him. But the parochial school Christ the King happily even gratefully embraced Gabe As a gift to the school. Angela Langlois remembers her children coming Home and telling her what the principal had announced to the other students before Gabe arrived. She said they All had to help him out if he did not know something. She told them How blessed they were to have Gabe. Eventually he went on to a special program at Gle Lawn collegiate. His reception at the High school was less welcoming at least at times. At Gle Lawn big Brothers Mike and Rick were around to look after him but there was one time when they noticed that Gabe a snot his cheerful self. When they asked him what was wrong Gabe began crying. One of the other students had been stealing gabes lunch Money for weeks. Mike and Rick took care of the thief and the recovery of the lunch Money. Gabe the kid who did not talk for 10 years who endured so much in institutions in which he did not belong graduated from Gle Lawn. He took Rick As his Grad Date. Gabe danced All night with every girl who would join him. It was the first time Rick had seen Gabe dance. Little did Rick know where it would take both Gabe and him. In Toronto on Grey cup weekend the word retard was still ringing in Ricks ears. Seething with anger Rick Felt As if he was about to do something almost As stupid with his fists As the hulking Drunken Saskatchewan fan had done with his Mouth. But Gabe stopped him. Gabe said leave him alone Rick. Leave him alone. Dont worry. It does not bother me. Rick froze momentarily. That was the first time id heard Gabe actually say something like that Rick said. As it turned out Rick and Gabe did not need to get involved. A couple of Young bomber fans grabbed the Guy Rick recalled. And one Guy said to me keep going Well explain this. The two Brothers were Halfway up an escalator when Rick looked Back. The bomber fans were still talking to the Saskatchewan fan. Whose head was hanging in shame. There Are people out there who dont have a clue Rick told me. In any event what mattered most to Rick that Grey cup weekend was the look in gabes eyes. It was the greatest thing that Ever happened to him. Perhaps thatus because in terms of the moment it was like the wedding Gabe May never have and the first born he will never hold. And in a Way the trip to the Winnipeg Saskatchewan Grey cup that free press readers and West Jet and the Fairmont gave Gabe was our Christmas gift to him. For his being the gift he is to Winnipeg All year Long. As for what makes dancing Gabe dance thatus easy. Joy of course. He dances for Joy. Gordon. Sinclair free press. My.
