Bill Russell

["Odegaard, Greg M." <GMOdegaa@RMC.com>]

There is a lot of coverage coming out regarding great Celtic Bill.  The new
SI (picture of cover at CNN/SI site) covering great sport dynasties, and as
luck would have it Bill is on the cover.  Run out and buy your extra copies
for saving and trading.

Yesterday's USA Today had a big article on Bill with interview.  Now as luck
would have it I missed this,  but does anyone have a transcript. 

As I asked a couple of days ago; is any list member going to the
re-retirement of his number later in the month?  Let me or us all know any
details, I am most curious about the terrific sounding event.

Lastly there is a rush of new Russell memorabilia hitting the market place,
some items actually commemorating his upcoming event, in recognition of the
30th anniversary of his last championship.  Any insight from list members on
these items?

Thanks and let's end this trainwreck of a season on a high note tonight.
Have a nice spring afternoon folks,
Greg
