Clyde “The Glide” Drexler
On July 17, 2008, Clyde Drexler, the former Portland Trail Blazer and a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic gold medal winning basketball team, was signing autographs at the grand reopening of the Circuit City store in Keizer, Oregon.
I captured this photo after my son was invited to come back and sit with “The Glide.” I was so elated to see Clyde Drexler that I was at a loss for words when it became my turn for an autograph.
I must say Clyde is a very, very nice man and what an athlete he still is. He looked awesome during this event!
Circuit City had a line of over 500 people at the time and the first 100 customers to enter received $100 in store gift certificates. Unfortunately, we were not among the lucky 100 customers. Though the wait was about two hours long, it was well worth it!
The photo shows my son Kris Gunther of Dallas, Oregon posing with the great Clyde Drexler.
