Thanks For The Memories, Timber Jim 

I have so many fond memories of my days hanging around PGE Park in downtown Portland (back when it was known as Civic Stadium). My wardrobe was mostly Timber Green and Gold throughout my late teens and I had the honour of interviewing Jimmy Kelly for my school newspaper (a player so popular that he received six write-in votes for the Mayor of Portland). "Timber Jim" Serrill is indelibly etched in my memories of cheering on the boys from the front row of Section 6. Always gracious, generous and humble, Jim is among the Timbers' most passionate supporters (through every iteration of the franchise) and is, in my opinion, the Mayor of Soccer City, U.S.A.

Enjoy your retirement, Timber Jim! You've earned that Lifetime Season Ticket!
