The "Fan-Feedback" portion of today's BDN has an interesting letter from Linda Mosley of Hampden. It may be viewed online at http://www.bangornews.com/Sports/20000104000000SportsLette.html I agree with most of her letter and would especially like to comment on one point she made (without quoting it) ... since I've been meaning to do it all season. The Alfond Orono fans have been wonderful this season! Not only are almost all of the seats taken every game, but the fans are noisy and having a great time, while being reasonably respectful. It makes this long-time fan proud when, at the start of every game, almost all fans quietly *sing* the National Anthem and, like the home team, show respect for the flag and the singer/performer until the end of the anthem. This isn't done by other teams; this isn't done at other arenas. Gives me a smile and goose-bumps every time. (Thanks!) Good luck in P'land tonight. We'll need luck and the fans at "Wear White Weekend" this Friday and Saturday. At least Friday's game on local TV. All games on the air and internet by WZON and WMEB radio. cheers, wayne Wayne T.
