I've been a Celtic fan since I was 6 years old when my dad took me to the first Celtic game with Easy Ed McCauley. That was 59 years ago. I've been to most of the championship games in the past but this year was something special. I live in Thousand Oaks, CA and have gone through a lot of crap from the so called 'beautiful' people who claim to be Laker fans. I have 3 grown sons who are also rabid Celtic fans and they were raised out here. My wife and I are originally from the Boston area.
