OT - I met one of the "big shots"

[Mark Padgett]

Well, it's "official". Harry Glickman is coming back over here this coming Wednesday afternoon to speak to our residents and guests about his career in the Portland sports scene. His talk will include the story of how he began as a fight promoter, then established professional hockey here and then the story of how he worked to bring an NBA team to Portland. He will take questions and comments from the rest of us. I'm really looking forward to hearing his story. I'll try to remember to post any funny and/or weird basketball items he brings up.

Although it's not likely, if any of you have a question about the Blazers history, let me know and I can ask Harry, or if any of you in this area would like to come over here (SW Portland) Wednesday at 2:00 as a guest, I can get you in.
