I’m a life long Blazer fan and avid reader of Bedge since shortly after the passing of my father in summer 2006. Fats was his nickname (after Fats Domino a favorite of his in his youth) and I’m eternally proud to be his son. He gave me the gift of his love for the game and especially OUR team. Countless nights were spend listening to Schonz in my youth. Even though I turned my back during the "era" he never gave up hope - although he cut down his home game presence to nearly nothing. He told me KP would make a change - boy was he right. I carrying on cheering twice as loud now. Thank you KP, Nate and Dave for your tireless efforts. There are more people who's lives you've touched than you will ever know. Well, maybe you will at the parades to follow . . .
