Bruins fan gets FaceTime call from Bobby Orr on her 105th birthday

“I’m in high heaven."

A Bruins fan was celebrating her 105th birthday on Tuesday when she got a unique surprise — a FaceTime call from Bobby Orr offering his well-wishes.

Wearing a tiara and surrounded by balloons, Dottie Clemons spoke with Orr. 

“I’m in high heaven,” she told him, in a video posted by the Bruins on X. 

The Bruins said Clemons also got birthday messages from Rick Middleton, Ray Bourque, Patrice Bergeron, and Brad Marchand. 

“FaceTiming with No. 4? Now, that’s the way to celebrate a 105th birthday,” the team wrote. 

Clemons was also given a Bruins jersey with her name and the number “105.”
