Book Signing at CJ's Sports Bar & Grill Thursday Night November 4, 2021 In Oak Grove
Join me Thursday night in Portland at CJ's Sports Bar and Grill. I will be signing my eighth book "Jerome Kersey: Overcoming The Odds" from 5-7 PM.
I will give a short talk about about the book, a biography on the late, great Trail Blazers' forward. I will also have a Q & A session. I will also have a selection of my other books for sale including "Jail Blazers," "Civil War Rivalry" and "The Bill Schonely Story."
The wonderful part of this book event is that CJ's owner Terry Emmert -- a good friend of Jerome's -- and Bucky Buckwalter will join me in a discussion about the late, great Blazer forward that will begin about 6 p.m.
A fond farewell to Herb Brown, the octogenarian Oregonian who has coached the world
Put Herb Brown in among the famous Oregonians who flies under the radar in the world of sports.
The older brother (by 4 1/2 years) of Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Larry Brown is an accomplished casaba coach in his own right.
Brown, who turns 85 in March, is most well-known for his time spent as head coach of the Detroit Pistons from 1975-77.
But Brown’s resume is replete with stops throughout the world. The native New Yorker has had assistant coaching jobs with eight franchises, including the Trail Blazers. He was a member of Maurice Cheeks’ Portland staff from 2001-03.
