JEGIL AND GRACE DUGGER
Married: May 23, 2009
Met: In 2004, in Five Points. “There was a Ruby Tuesdays right where the Chick-Fil-A currently is,” Jegil said. Both were out having dinner with friends. “It was a rainy night. I remember that was a nice hangout spot, especially on the weekends. I saw Grace in the booth over, and she was very attractive. I was trying to get her to make eye contact with me, but she never looked up.”

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have announced contract extensions for three players – global offensive lineman Rene Brassea, American wide receiver Carlos Henderson and Canadian offensive lineman Josiah St. John.
St. John remains with the Riders through 2021 after coming back to the club during free agency in 2020. St. John completed the 2019 season with the Edmonton Eskimos, playing in the East Final. The 28-year-old also spent time with the Toronto Argonauts and B.C. Lions.
