Thanks Chuck. I have never heard of "San Antonio Township"Chuck1052 wrote:Frank, I believe that I found your family in the 1920 U.S. Census. But the family name in the census was listed as "Valtazar." Moreover, they were living in the San Antonio Township at the time, but the listed precinct was Montebello.

Dan, Brian, Bruce, Bennie, Paul, Charlie & Panzarfaust, I wish you could have joined us. It wasn't until I left I realized that I hadn't gotten around the room to visit as I usually do. It was great meeting Tom Ray, who gave a great talk on behalf of Sean O'Grady. As I mentioned once before, the CBHOF event has a warmth that you will not find at other boxing events. It really has the feeling of a big family.
Rick, congratulations buddy, you deserve it.

I didn't tell you Frank that, right before I headed over to the banquet, I got a pretty bad nose bleed. I couldn't figure out why my nose would bleed because I've been off the blood thinners for about two months. Then it occurred to me: I had been thinking all morning about all the great fighters I was going to meet and, being the lousy fighter that I was, my nose just started bleeding out of habit!!kikibalt wrote:Oh!, I think that Tom has taken his share on the chin....bennie wrote:Tom looks like he's taken more shots than Bobby or Danny.kikibalt wrote:CBHOF-2010

And no kiss?....raylawpc wrote:I wanted to thank everybody for the hospitality shown to me at the CBHOF banquet. It was great to see Frank, Rick, Randy, and Roger in person, and to meet the lovely Connie and the rest of Frank's family, Randy's friend Ed, and Rick's beautiful wife (and new US citizen!) Monica. It was great fun for me to be there and see all the Southern California boxing greats I have read about and seen on tape throughout the years!
I feel like a part of the Southern California boxing fraternity now especially since, as I was leaving, Bobby Chacon gave me the finger!
No. This was a time when my height paid off. On a couple of occasions, Bobby acted like he was going to try and kiss me, but I think my height dissuaded him.kikibalt wrote:And no kiss?....raylawpc wrote:I wanted to thank everybody for the hospitality shown to me at the CBHOF banquet.

Yes, especially since my desk is covered with phone messages and work that came in on Friday while I was gone.kikibalt wrote:Tom, the Boss happy to see you back home?

A Cow, an Ant and an Old Fart are debating on who is the greatest of the three of them.
The Cow: I give 50 litres of milk every day and that's why I am the greatest!!
The Ant: I work day and night, summer and winter, I can carry 52 times my own weight and that's why I am the greatest!!

My wife's four-year-old great nephew and I were having lunch together one day, and I asked him his favorite Bible stories. While he was pondering his answer, I suggested . . ."Maybe the story of David and Goliath?" When I said that, his eyes got big and he looked at me, slowly saying, "Uncle Tom . . . are YOU a GIANT?" I introduced Bobby to friends several times on Saturday. I got nailed each time I'd intoduce somebody to him.raylawpc wrote:No. This was a time when my height paid off.
