I went up to Seattle as a part of the peaceful demonstration parade from Clark College. But the thing that I’ll most remember about the protest is meeting the girl that would become my future wife. We were paired as “protest buddies” and spent the whole day marching with the giant sea turtles in the parade. We did see some vandalism and could smell some tear gas but really we didn’t know what was going on at the Convention Center. The next day we went on our first official date, and as you can say the rest is history.

I have been a Blazer fan since the early 90's when they went to the Finals. I remember listening to games with father on the radio and watching them on TV and have a very good memories of that team.

My parents shared stories of Bill Walton buying groceries from my mom when she was working at a local store in SE Portland at the time. It sounded like a really exciting time.

I think this current team is great and I think they are going to be good well into the future.
