I’ve been to Salt Lake City before. Years ago, I flew through Salt Lake en route to Seattle or somewhere. Never left the airport. And back in 1963, when I was 2-1/2, we took a trip to northern California. Seems like my dad told me we drove through Salt Lake. I have a fleeting memory of a long road leading to my aunt’s house in Eureka, California, but nothing about Salt Lake.
That changed Saturday morning. Thunder-Jazz moves to Utah for Games 3 and 4 Saturday and Monday. Erik Horne and I flew Southwest to Denver and then on to Salt Lake late Friday night.
