A great book for any hockey fan!
I have fond memories the Portland Buckaroos of the old WHL when they came to Salt Lake to play the Golden Eagles during the late 1960's and early 1970's. Portland always had a top-notch club and they were a powerhouse in the WHL for years. When I saw this book on eBay, I had to get a copy and I don't regret it.
Hockey In Portland has dozens of photos and player profiles and is a nice look back on one of minor league hockey's most storied franchises (the Buckaroos) but also goes way back to the days of the Portland Eagles, Portland Rosebuds and the original Buckaroos of the 1930's and '40's.
Hockey in Portland comes up a bit short on detailed history year-by-year, and there are virtually no statistics listed such as all-time scoring leaders. But the wide array of photos and profiles are worth their weight in gold. The Memorabilia tribute in chapter 9 showcases the success the Buckaroos enjoyed during their reign in the old WHL.
If you remember names like Art Jones, Andy Hebenton, Norm Johnson, Connie Madigan, Jim McLeod, Larry Leach, Cliff Schmautz, Dick Van Impe, Bill Saunders, Gordon Fashoway, Hal Laycoe and Mike Donaldson, then this book is a must read!

Great entertainment value.
Complete Sherlock Holmes series with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce is a great nostalgic presentation.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
1 of 1 found this helpful One of my favorite movies of all time. Tremendous story with even better acting and directing. This movie is one of John Huston's true gems, and is arguably Bogart's best performance. Walter Huston's "Howard", the wise old prospector, is a one-of-a-kind character that could not have been played better by anyone in Hollywood. He clearly deserved the Oscar for his brilliant supporting role.
The greed of Bogart's Fred C. Dobbs and his lust for riches turns quickly to paranoia. It eventually becomes bad karma for Fred C.! Tim Holt also turns in a strong performance as the good guy Curtin who tolerates Dobbs' type "A" personality on steroids with tolerance and patience. The acting overall is top-notch thoughout the film. Even the bit players turn in masterful and convincing roles, such as Robert "Baretta" Blake as the young lottery ticket peddler and Alphonoso Bedoya as "Gold Hat" the bandit. Character actors Barton McLane and Bruce Bennett portray key figures in excellent fashion.
Time has treated this motion picture very well. It seems to gain popularity as the years go by, and for good reason. It is a family-friendly movie with a moral anyone can learn from.
