how the hell did he find himself in that job? bizarre. but you'll have all the answers!

earnie, a tremendou geezer, is actually a greeter in yates, just makin a bit of cabbage on the side.

he earns thousands of pounds as an after dinner speaker all around the world, and has a very successful compnay in the states. i dont know exactly what it does because his diction is somewhat unclear.

ive even spoke to him about jeff merrit and his fight with roy tiger williams hehe.

In May 74 traveled to San Jose to see Shavers fight Cookie Wallace, believe this was Shavers first bout after loss to Quarry. It was hardly worth the trouble; Wallace went down from nothing at all in the first, rolled around on the canvas and wound up with his legs crossed at the ankles, waiting for the ref (Richard Greene, who wound up committing suicide...another story) to count him out. Wallace, a decent enough opponent when he wanted to be, also pulled this stunt v. Duane Bobick, but there I think he waited until the second (saw this on tape). In any case, Shavers got the win, such as it was, and life went on. Wallace cheated a lot of paying customers, though. Shavers never hit him one clean shot.

what a depressing waste of such valuable information.
