I don't like to talk about myself but Blazers Edge has become family to me. So here is a little bit:
I became a Blazer fan at the beginning from afar - Vietnam far. When I came back to Portland in 1973 my CPA firm audited the Blazers so tickets were always easy to score. Each year I probably saw 20 games from awesome seats in the MC. When we got Maurice Lucas I bought my first season tickets and continued to carry them and two more through 2000. By then (actually 1998) had had to move to a drier climate from Portland, city of my birth to Sisters and could not travel.. Recently my body has failed me for watching continuous live action so a recording works better as I can watch parts at a time.
My wife and I graduated from KU. We have 42 years of marriage with three children and four grandchildren. I am thankful for all of them.
I am 100% disabled now from my time in the war I don't regret that time. When called many have served to make our country strong and free.
The class and respect and amazing knowledge that comes to BE and posts here is the best I have seen across the web. Thanks for letting me be a part.
a fan of
New York Yankees
Portland Trail Blazers
Dallas Cowboys
Kansas Jayhawks
