Well sad new's is upon us today. The world has lost one of its best people. University of Portland Head Soccer Coach Clive Charles, died yesterday after a 3 year battle with cancer. The world of soccer mourns his loss as do the rest of us. I had a chance to meet Coach Charles, and he was the nicest man and even though I am quite younger then he was, he treated me like an old friend and with lots of respect. He was a class act. He did so much for soccer in the US and for women's soccer in general. He finally go the prize he had been after and that was winning the National Championship with the girl's soccer team from U of P. He was the happiest person alive when they one and he'll always have a place in the soccer and the city of Portland.

On a lighter note I will be in Chicago in 23 days and that is a great thing. So later all, I'm update more later. PAX
