    12pm, at the Coliseum.

    Doors open at 11. Not a bad way to spend a lunch break. I'm going to go and pay my respects to Luke.

    I just made reservations to fly in for the day. Luke gave me some of my greatest sporting memories as a child. Paying my respects is the least I can do. I plan on sitting in the seats my dad--then I--held as season ticket holders and where I saw the Blazers win a little contest on June 5, 1977.

    Wish I could escape work.... I paid my respects during the OKC game I guess, very emotional stuff with the whole family there. Can't imagine what its going to be like today.

    It takes a lot for a man like Nate to cry. They were very close!

    Joel did a great job.

    Frank Brickowski & Joel!

    Wow, what Frank just said at the Lucas memorial was special.

    Hell of a good job by a nervous Joel.
