Kim, this is one of those moments that makes you very sad, and at the same 
time, happy.  Reggie has always been my favorite Celtic (and I started going to 
the Gaahden when a tall skinny fellow named Russel was playing).

I loved Reggie not only for his beautiful, graceful style of play, but also 
because he mirrored those qualities off the court.  (He did have the best smile 
in the game too :-)

I also remember a game where I think he scored 30-something on Jordan.  Just 
a great ball player, and a great person. Sad he left so soon, but happy that I 
watched the Celts over the years he played.  Makes me happy thinking about 
it....
