I'm going to try and go. I feel strange going because I didn't know him but I respect his role

in Blazers history and his work in the community. He was a great person, I hope there is a big turn out.

Wish I could go...

But, I will be out of town this weekend. Going to Dave Matthews Band at The Gorge. That one will be depressing too, with LeRoi Moore’s passing. :-(

Is there someone that is going who would/could pick-up a memorial program (I can’t remember what they are called) for me. Being a big Duck fan I would love to have something from the memorial to remember him.

Thanks in advance.

PS- if needed I could work out some sort of trade.
