    Just got done setting up an interview with the great Harry Glickman.

    This man is Blazer history.

    Post your questions.

    As an added bonus, I also have a game program from the night CJ McCollum scored 50pts signed by CJ himself for one lucky person who posts a legitimate questions for Mr Glickman.

    At the time how hard was the decision between Bowie and Jordan? if Jordan wasn’t next on your board who was?
    Two questions I cheated.

    I know this is cheating so don’t count this question (it makes 4), but if I had 30
    Minutes with him I’d have so many questions!!!
    How do you feel Paul Allen has done as the owner of the Blazers?
    Lucas is considered one of the Fans favorite players, but his stint with Portland was pretty short, what are your thoughts in retrospect about the trade for Calvin Natt?
    By the way I wasn’t alive back then, so while I’ve seen Natt and know he was good, just seems like Lucas was an icon of Portland Basketball.

    I promise I’m done...

    An honor to have you here Harry...after your success with the Portland Buckaroos what has kept hockey from Portland?
    What do you think about the current Blazers team and what do you think is needed to become contenders in the near future?
    Do you think either Dana Altman or Pat Casey will transition to coaching in the major leagues?

    Actually, I want to ask Harry Glickman about WWII. During some random readings, I actually did some research and found out he was part of the 12th Armored Division - a brand new and inexperienced division that got called up to spearhead the charge through the European theater - leading to an infamous Skirmish at Itter Castle (where German troops, local resistance, and US troops teamed up to fight the Nazi elite).

    If it's alright, could Mr. Glickman tell me about the battle at Herrlisheim (which was regarded as the division's "baptism of fire")? Did he participate in the battle? If so, what was the fighting like? Were there any memories that stood out?

    Does he recall General Patton? What did he think of him? I read that Patton took control of the 12th at one point and spoke high praises regarding the division.

    And did he have any other memories or experiences during the war that he would like to share?

    I figure it might be important to ask these questions so we don't forget history.

    What was that weird urban legend about Glickman? Something about an Umbrella or something or another?

    How many Blazer games do you go to per season? Are you still in contact with Larry Weinberg?
