I didn't know Diego did the old timers. I wonder if he'd do a portrait of Jeffries for the cover of my book if I ever get the darn thing done? (Hint, hint, hint . . . )

I think I have Jeff in my warehouse. I'll dig him out and send it to Frank.

Thanks for the comment. If my memory serves me correctly,I don't remember a lot of open range and horses on Taylor Street. The only thing I remember my father talking about horses is when he went to Italy with his father(Diamond Joe)and ate a horse meat sandwich.

Thanks Diego. It would make a great cover for the book (if I ever get the darn thing written. . .)

Frank,

I also want to congratulate you for training your sons so well in the art of boxing. I know because I had the pleasure of refereeing some of their fights when they were little. I don't know if it was Frankie or Tony but I can remember one time when one of them was so mad that he had tears in his eyes because he was having difficulty finding a way to flatten his opponents nose. He finally figured out a way to let him have it. He won the fight and that put a big smile on his face. You might remember this fight because you were working in his corner.

Floyd Patterson, ? and Tommy "Hurricane" Jackson

Frank
Do you remember that fight for the championship? Jackson took a terrible beating. He showed nothing. Also Jackson was acting strangely in his corner prancing up and down. I know he had some mental issues. A tragic figure in the sport. His people should have been looking out for him.

Thank you Rodolfo, no I don't remember that, I do remember Tony getting mad in his fight at the finals of the 1964 Jr. G.G. because his opponent started crying wouldn't fight past the first round.That was at the Valley Garden Arena.
